Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] |
BASIS OF PRESENTATION, PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION, AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | BASIS OF PRESENTATION, PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION, AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Bunge Limited (“Bunge” or the "Company"), its subsidiaries and variable interest entities (“VIEs”) in which Bunge is considered to be the primary beneficiary, and as a result, include the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses of all entities over which Bunge has a controlling financial interest. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) rules. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2019 has been derived from Bunge’s audited consolidated financial statements at that date. Operating results for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2020. The financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2019, forming part of Bunge’s 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 21, 2020. Effective January 1, 2020, the Company changed its segment reporting to separately disclose Corporate and Other activities from its reporting segments, as further described in Note 20 - Segment Information. Corresponding prior period amounts have been restated to conform to current period classification. Effective July 1, 2020, the Company changed it's reporting of cash proceeds from and repayments of short-term debt with maturities of 90 days or less to separately present such cash proceeds and repayments in its condensed consolidated statement of cash flows. Prior to July 1, 2020, the Company presented cash proceeds from and repayments of short-term debt with maturities of 90 days or less on a net basis. Prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to current presentation. Cash, Cash Equivalents, and Restricted Cash Restricted cash is included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows. The following table provides a reconciliation of cash and cash equivalents, and restricted cash reported within the condensed consolidated balance sheets that sum to the total of the same such amounts shown in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.
