  For the purpose of determining the Ratio of Earnings to Fixed Charges and Preferred Stock Dividends, earnings are defined as pretax income before noncontrolling interests in consolidated subsidiaries plus fixed charges and amortization of capitalized interest less capitalized interest and preferred stock dividend requirements. Fixed charges consist of interest expense (capitalized and expensed), amortization of deferred debt issuance costs, portion of rental expense that is representative of the interest factor and preferred stock dividend requirements of the registrant and consolidated subsidiaries.
(2)
  Includes a pretax gain of $2,440 million related to the May 2010 sale of Bunge's Brazilian fertilizer nutrients assets.
