Trade Structured Finance Program [Abstract]
TRADE STRUCTURED FINANCE PROGRAM	TRADE STRUCTURED FINANCE PROGRAM The Company engages in various trade structured finance activities to leverage the value of its global trade flows. These activities include programs under which the Company generally obtains U.S. dollar-denominated letters of credit (“LCs”) from financial institutions, each based on an underlying commodity trade flow, and time deposits denominated in either the local currency of the financial institutions' counterparties or in U.S. dollars, as well as foreign exchange forward contracts and other programs in which trade related payables are set-off against receivables, all of which are subject to legally enforceable set-off agreements. As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, time deposits and LCs of $6,165 million and $4,715 million, respectively, were presented net on the condensed consolidated balance sheets as the criteria of ASC 210-20, Offsetting, had been met. The net losses and gains related to such activities are included as an adjustment to Cost of goods sold in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of income. At September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, time deposits, including those presented on a net basis, carried weighted-average interest rates of 1.11% and 1.87%, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, total net proceeds from issuances of LCs were $5,379 million and $3,839 million, respectively. These cash inflows were offset by the related cash outflows resulting from placement of the time deposits and repayment of the LCs. All cash flows related to the programs are included in operating activities in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. As part of the trade structured finance activities, LCs may be sold to financial institutions on a discounted basis. Bunge does not service derecognized LCs. The terms of the sale may require the Company to continue to make periodic interest payments to financial institutions based on changes in LIBOR for a period of up to 365 days. Bunge’s payment obligation, included in Other current liabilities, to financial institutions as part of the trade structured finance activities, including any unrealized gain or loss on changes in LIBOR, is not significant as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020. The notional amounts of LCs subject to continuing variable interest payments that have been derecognized from the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 are included in Note 12- Derivative Instruments And Hedging Activities. The net gain or loss included in Cost of goods sold resulting from the fair valuation of such variable interest rate obligations is not significant for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020.
