Business Combinations [Abstract] |
Acquisitions | Acquisitions Operating results of acquisitions are included in the Company’s financial statements from the date of acquisition. Fiscal Year 2016 acquisitions During the year ended December 31, 2016, the Company acquired a 90% interest in Harvest Innovations, an industry leader in minimally processed, expeller-pressed soy proteins, oils, and gluten-free ingredients; a 50% interest in Cairo-based Medsofts Group, a joint venture that owns and manages merchandising and supply chain operations; Caterina Foods, a leading toll manufacturer of specialty gluten-free and high-protein pastas; and a Casablanca, Morocco-based corn wet mill that produces glucose and native starch for an aggregate cost of $141 million in cash. The aggregate purchase price of these acquisitions, net of cash acquired of $11 million, was preliminarily allocated to working capital, property, plant, and equipment, goodwill, other intangible assets, other long-term assets, other long-term liabilities, and redeemable noncontrolling interest for $15 million, $23 million, $72 million, $41 million, $34 million, $17 million, and $38 million, respectively. The remaining 10% interest in Harvest Innovations is recorded in other long-term liabilities and accounted for as a mandatorily redeemable interest which the Company has agreed to acquire following two years of operations. The Company has an option three years from the date of acquisition to acquire the remaining 50% interest in Medsofts Group based on a fixed multiple of earnings before taxes, interest, and depreciation and amortization for the last twelve months of this three-year period. If the Company does not elect to exercise its option, the noncontrolling interest holder has the option to put the 50% interest to the Company on similar, though discounted, terms. The Company records the 50% remaining interest in temporary equity - redeemable noncontrolling interest. Fiscal Year 2015 acquisitions On November 2, 2015, the Company completed the acquisition of the remaining 50 percent interest in Eaststarch C.V. The acquisition includes corn wet mills in Bulgaria and Turkey and a 50 percent stake in a wet mill in Hungary enhancing the Company’s capabilities to serve customers around the world. The 2015 post acquisition financial results of Eaststarch C.V. are reported in the Corn Processing segment. During the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company acquired four businesses, including the remaining interest in Eaststarch C.V. described above, for a total cost of $508 million. The purchase price, net of cash acquired of $29 million, plus the acquisition-date fair values of the Company’s previously held equity interests of $385 million in Eaststarch C.V. and $64 million in North Star Shipping and Minmetal included in Others below, were preliminarily allocated as follows:
(In millions) | Eaststarch C.V. | Others | Total
Trade receivables | $ | 27 |  | $ | 25 |  | $ | 52 |

Total purchase price, net of cash acquired, plus acquisition date fair values of previously held equity interests | $ | 621 |  | $ | 307 |  | $ | 928 |
In the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company recognized pre-tax gains of $185 million on the Eaststarch C.V. transaction and $27 million on the North Star Shipping and Minmetal transaction included in Others above, representing the difference between the carrying values and acquisition-date fair values of the Company’s previously held equity interests. The acquisition date fair value was determined based on a discounted cash flow analysis using market participant assumptions (a Level 3 measurement under applicable accounting standards). Goodwill recorded in connection with the acquisitions is primarily attributable to the synergies expected to arise after the Company’s acquisition of the businesses. The following table sets forth the preliminary fair values and weighted average useful lives of the other intangible assets acquired.

Fiscal Year 2014 acquisitions On October 1, 2014 and November 18, 2014, the Company completed the acquisitions of the WILD Flavors businesses (Wild Flavors) and Specialty Commodities Inc. (SCI), respectively. Both acquisitions are in line with the Company’s strategy to increase returns and reduce earnings volatility through the growth of its specialty ingredient offerings.
