(1) Prepaid commodity purchase contracts represent advance payments against contracts for future delivery of specified quantities of agricultural commodities. (2) The Company provides cash advances to suppliers, primarily Brazilian farmers of soybeans, to finance a portion of the suppliers’ production costs. The Company does not bear any of the costs or operational risks associated with the related growing crops. The advances are largely collateralized by future crops and physical assets of the suppliers, carry a local market interest rate, and settle when the farmers' crops are harvested and sold. The secured advances to farmers are reported net of allowances of $1 million at June 30, 2020 and $1 million at December 31, 2019. Interest earned on secured advances to suppliers of $6 million for each of the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, and $18 million and $13 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, is included in Net sales in the condensed consolidated statements of income. (3) Deferred purchase price receivable represents additional credit support for the investment conduits in the Company’s trade receivables securitization program (see Note 6 - Trade Accounts Receivable and Trade Receivable Securitization Program).
