| | (4) | Unrealized losses on designated and undesignated derivative contracts are generally included in other current liabilities. There are $20 million and $18 million included in other non-current liabilities at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. |

| Reconciliation of assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) |
The tables below present reconciliations for assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016. These instruments were valued using pricing models that management believes reflect the assumptions that would be used by a marketplace participant. | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Three Months Ended September 30, 2017 | (US$ in millions) | | Derivatives, Net | | Readily Marketable Inventories | | Trade Accounts Receivable/ Payable, Net | | Total | Balance, July 1, 2017 | | $ | — |

Bunge may also enter into various interest rate derivatives that do not qualify for hedge accounting and, therefore, Bunge has not designated these as hedging instruments for accounting purposes. These interest rate derivatives have been recorded at fair value in the condensed consolidated balance sheets with changes in fair value recorded in earnings. Below is a summary of Bunge's outstanding interest rate derivatives that do not qualify for hedge accounting. | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | September 30, 2017 | | | Exchange Traded | | | | | | | | | Net (Short) | | Non-exchange Traded | | Unit of | (US$ in millions) | | & Long | | (Short) | | Long | | Measure | Interest Rate | | | | | | | | | Swaps | | — |
