TRADE STRUCTURED FINANCE PROGRAM	Jun. 30, 2024
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 and foreign currency-denominated letters of credit ("LCs") from financial institutions, each based on an underlying commodity trade flow, and time deposits denominated in U.S. dollars and foreign currencies, as well as foreign exchange forward contracts, in which trade related payables are set-off against receivables, all of which are subject to legally enforceable set-off agreements. As of June 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023, time deposits and LCs of $8,092 million and $6,880 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 June 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023, time deposits, including those presented on a net basis, carried weighted-average interest rates of 5.87% and 5.77%, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, total net proceeds from issuances of LCs were $4,310 million and $3,035 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 the Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") for a period of up to one year. Bunge’s payment obligation to financial institutions as part of the trade structured finance activities, reported in Other current liabilities, including any unrealized gain or loss on changes in SOFR is not significant as of June 30, 2024 or December 31, 2023. 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 June 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023 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 six month periods ended June 30, 2024 and 2023.
