TRADE RECEIVABLES SECURITIZATION PROGRAM
TRADE RECEIVABLES SECURITIZATION PROGRAM	12.TRADE RECEIVABLES SECURITIZATION PROGRAM Bunge and certain of its subsidiaries participate in a trade receivables securitization program (the “Program”) with a financial institution, as administrative agent, and certain commercial paper conduit purchasers and committed purchasers (collectively, the “Purchasers”) that provides for funding of up to $700 million against receivables sold into the Program. As of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, $487 million and $524 million, respectively, of receivables sold under the Program were derecognized from Bunge’s condensed consolidated balance sheets. Proceeds received in cash related to transfers of receivables under the Program totaled $2,155 million and $2,517 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. In addition, cash collections from customers on receivables previously sold were $2,227 million and $2,686 million, respectively. As this is a revolving facility, cash collections from customers are reinvested to fund new receivable sales. Gross receivables sold under the Program for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, were $2,263 million and $2,609 million, respectively. These sales resulted in discounts of $2 million for each of the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, which were included in SG&A in the condensed consolidated statements of income. Servicing fees under the Program were not significant in any period. Bunge’s risk of loss following the sale of the trade receivables is limited to the deferred purchase price (“DPP”), which at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 had a fair value of $80 million and $79 million, respectively, and is included in other current assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheets (see Note 6). The DPP will be repaid in cash as receivables are collected, generally within 30 days. Delinquencies and credit losses on trade receivables sold under the Program during the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, were insignificant. Bunge has reflected all cash flows under the Program as operating cash flows in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.
