Disclosure of detailed information about financial instruments [abstract]

The following tables show the carrying amounts of financial assets and financial liabilities by category of financial instrument and reconciliation to the corresponding line item in the statements of financial position, as appropriate. Since the line items “Trade and other receivables, net” and “Trade and other payables” contain both financial instruments and non-financial assets or liabilities (such as other tax receivables or advance payments for services to be received in the future), the reconciliation is shown in the columns headed “Non-financial assets” and “Non-financial liabilities”. There was no reclassification between categories for the adoption of IFRS 9.

Schedule of Fair Value Measurement of Assets

The following table presents the Group´s biological assets that are measured at fair value at December 31, 2019 and 2018 (see Note 17 to see the description of each fair value level):



	2019				2018
	Level 1	Level 2	Level 3	Total	Level 1	Level 2	Level 3	Total

Cattle for dairy production	—	11,397	—	11,397	—	9,859	—	9,859
Breeding cattle	3,460	—	—	3,460	2,993	—	—	2,993

The following significant unobservable inputs were used to measure the Group´s biological assets using the discounted cash flow valuation technique:



Description	Unobservable inputs	Range of unobservable inputs		Relationship of unobservable inputs to fair value
		2019	2018
Sown land – sugarcane	Sugarcane yield – tonnes per hectare; Sugarcane TRS (kg of sugar per ton of cane) Production Costs – US$ per hectare. (Include maintenance, harvest and leasing costs)	-Sugarcane yield: 60-100 tn/ha -Sugarcane TRS: 120-140 kg of sugar/ton of cane -Maintenance costs: 500-700 US$/ha -Harvest costs: 9.0 -15.0 US$/ton of cane -Leasing costs: 12.0-14.4 tn/ha	-Sugarcane yield: 60-100 tn/ha -Sugarcane TRS: 120-140 kg of sugar/ton of cane -Maintenance costs: 500-700 US$/ha -Harvest costs: 9.0 -15.0 US$/ton of cane -Leasing costs: 12.0-14.4 tn/ha	The higher the sugarcane yield, the higher the fair value. The higher the maintenance, harvest and leasing costs per hectare, the lower the fair value. The higher the TRS of sugarcane, the higher the fair value.
Sown land – crops	Crops yield – tonnes per hectare; Commercial Costs – US$ per hectare; Production Costs – US$ per hectare.	- Crops yield: 0.95 – 4.69 tn/ha for Wheat, 2.5 – 10 tn/ha for Corn, 1.19 - 3.8 tn/ha for Soybean and 1.6-3 for Sunflower - Commercial Costs: 6-43 US$/ha for Wheat, 2-51 US$/ha for Corn, 7-59 US$/ha for Soybean and 2-71 US$/ha for Sunflower - Production Costs: 115-574 US$/ha for Wheat, 198-859 US$/ha for Corn, 159-679 US$/ha for Soybean and 233-641 US$/ha for Sunflower	- Crops yield: 1.2 – 5.2 tn/ha for Wheat, 2.2 – 9.4 tn/ha for Corn, 1.1 - 4.1 tn/ha for Soybean and 1.5-2.1 for Sunflower - Commercial Costs: 55-120 US$/ha for Wheat, 85-230 US$/ha for Corn, 55-110 US$/ha for Soybean and 45-80 US$/ha for Sunflower - Production Costs: 140-460 US$/ha for Wheat, 300-620 US$/ha for Corn, 260-460 US$/ha for Soybean and 220-360 US$/ha for Sunflower	The higher the crops yield, the higher the fair value. The higher the commercial and direct costs per hectare, the lower the fair value.
Sown land – rice	Rice yield – tonnes per hectare; Commercial Costs – US$ per hectare; Production Costs – US$ per hectare.	-Rice yield: 6.5 -7.5 tn/ha -Commercial Costs: 8-12 US$/ha -Production Costs: 750-950 US$/ha	-Rice yield: 6.0 -7.4 tn/ha -Commercial Costs: 11-14 US$/ha -Production Costs: 830-1,090 US$/ha	The higher the rice yield, the higher the fair value. The higher the commercial and direct costs per hectare, the lower the fair value.

When no quoted prices in an active market are available, fair values (particularly with derivatives) are based on recognized valuation methods. The Group uses a range of valuation models for this purpose, details of which may be obtained from the following table:
