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, 2018 has been derived from Bunge’s audited consolidated financial statements at that date. Operating results for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2019 . The financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2018 , forming part of Bunge’s 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 22, 2019 . 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 statement of cash flows. The following table provides a reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash reported within the condensed consolidated balance sheet that sums to the total of the same such amounts shown in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.

New Accounting Pronouncements and Changes in Accounting Principles [Abstract]
ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS	ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS The below outlines updates on certain previously disclosed Accounting Standards Updates ("ASUs"). New Accounting Pronouncements In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326) , which introduces a new accounting model, referred to as the current expected credit losses ("CECL") model, for estimating credit losses on certain financial instruments and expands the disclosure requirements for estimating such credit losses. Under the new model, an entity is required to estimate the credit losses expected over the life of an exposure (or pool of exposures). The guidance also amends the current impairment model for debt securities classified as available-for-sale securities. The new guidance will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company will adopt the guidance under a modified-retrospective approach with a cumulative effect adjustment to opening retained earnings as of the effective date. The impact of this standard on the Company's consolidated financial statements cannot be reasonably determined at this time as the company works through data gathering, estimation methodologies, judgments, and accounting policy elections. In addition, Bunge expects the impact to be influenced by the composition of the portfolio, and current and expected environment as of the adoption date. Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements On January 1, 2019 the Company adopted ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) . Under the new provisions, all leases, except short-term leases, are recognized on the balance sheet as right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for the obligation to make payments under such leases. The Company has elected the amended transition approach provided by ASU 2018-11, Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements , which allows entities to apply the guidance as of the date of initial application by recognizing a cumulative-effect adjustment to opening retained earnings, with no retrospective adjustments. The Company also elected the package of practical expedients that permits the Company to not reassess under the new standard prior conclusions about lease identification, lease classification, and initial direct costs, as well as the practical expedient to not separate lease components from non-lease components in accounting for all classes of underlying assets. Upon adoption, the Company recorded $1,006 million of operating lease assets and $962 million of operating lease liabilities. Included in Operating lease assets at January 1, 2019 was $44 million of prepaid lease balances that were reclassified from Other non-current assets. On January 1, 2019 the Company adopted ASU 2018-02, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220) - Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income. This ASU allows a reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income ("AOCI") to retained earnings for stranded tax effects resulting from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act ("Tax Act"). Consequently, the ASU eliminates the stranded tax effects resulting from the Tax Act and will improve the usefulness of information reported to financial statement users. However, because this ASU only relates to the reclassification of the income tax effects of the Tax Act, the underlying guidance that requires that the effect of a change in tax laws or rates be included in income from continuing operations is not affected. The Company's stranded tax effects relate to unrecognized costs associated with certain pension plans for which the tax benefit was initially recorded to AOCI. Absent this ASU, the Company's policy is to release stranded tax effects upon the pension plans' termination. Upon the adoption of this ASU, the Company elected to reclassify the income tax effects of the Tax Act, resulting in a decrease to AOCI and an increase to retained earnings of $21 million

The Company identified key elements of its strategy to meet this goal, including adopting a zero-based budgeting process that will target excess costs in specific budget categories and improving efficiency and scalability by simplifying organizational structures, streamlining processes and consolidating back office functions globally, including the relocation of the Company’s global headquarters. In conjunction with the GCP, the Company has implemented other cost reduction and strategic initiatives to enhance the efficiency and performance of the Company’s business. The table below sets forth, by segment, the types of costs recorded for the GCP: Nine Months Ended September 30, 2019 2018 (US$ in millions) Severance and Other Employee Benefit Costs Consulting and Professional Services Other Program Costs Total Program Costs Severance and Other Employee Benefit Costs Consulting and Professional Services Total Program Costs Agribusiness Segment $ 11 $ 3 $ 4 $ 18 $ 14 $ 16 $ 30 Edible Oils Segment 4 1 1 6 2 4 6 Milling Segment 2 — 1 3 — 2 2 Sugar and Bioenergy Segment — — 1 1 2 4 6 Fertilizer Segment — — — — 2 1 3 Total $ 17 $ 4 $ 7 $ 28 $ 20 $ 27 $ 47 In addition to the above charges, nil and $1 million of severance and other employee benefit costs were recorded related to other industrial productivity initiatives for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 , respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 costs recorded above, $2 million and $9 million , respectively, were recorded in Cost of goods sold (COGS) and $26 million and $39 million , respectively, were recorded in Selling, general and administrative expenses (SG&A). Bunge's liability related to the GCP and other associated initiatives is primarily comprised of accruals for severance and other employee benefit costs. The following table sets forth the activity affecting the liability for severance and other employee benefit costs related to the GCP and other associated initiatives, which is recorded in Other current liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. (US$ in millions) Severance and Other Employee Benefit Costs Balance at January 1, 2019 $ 3 Charges incurred 17 Cash payments (10 ) Balance at September 30, 2019 $ 10 Portfolio Rationalization Initiatives - The Company's portfolio rationalization initiatives may include the sale or disposal of long-lived assets and certain other investments, resulting in certain gains and charges being recorded in earnings. For the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 , $1,659 million and $29 million , respectively, of such charges have been recognized. Non-cash impairment charges in 2019 of $1,524 million , recorded in COGS, relate to the formation of a joint venture involving the company's sugar and bioenergy operations in Brazil, as further discussed below. Additional non-cash impairment charges of $22 million , recorded in SG&A, relate to operating lease assets and leasehold improvements associated with the recently announced relocation of the company's global headquarters. Furthermore, $113 million of non-cash impairment charges, recorded in COGS, relate to PP&E subject to portfolio rationalization initiatives. Of the above charges recorded in the nine months ended September 30, 2019, $1,526 million , $98 million , $17 million , $17 million , and $1 million were recorded in the company's Sugar and Bioenergy, Agribusiness, Edible Oils Products, Milling Products, and Fertilizer segments, respectively. On July 22, 2019, certain indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company entered into a Business Combination Agreement (the “Business Combination Agreement”) with certain wholly-owned subsidiaries of BP p.l.c. (collectively, “BP”) to form a 50 / 50 joint venture (the “Joint Venture”) relating to their sugar and bioenergy operations, in Brazil. Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, the Company and BP will contribute their respective interests in their Brazilian sugar and bioenergy operations to the Joint Venture. The Company will receive cash proceeds of $775 million in the transaction, comprising $700 million in respect of non-recourse debt of the Company to be assumed by the Joint Venture at closing, and $75 million from BP, subject to customary closing adjustments. The Company intends to use the proceeds to reduce outstanding indebtedness under its credit facilities. The Joint Venture agreements provide for certain exit rights of the parties, including private sale rights beginning 18 months after closing and the ability by the Company to trigger an initial public offering of the Joint Venture after two years from closing, enabling future monetization potential. The transaction is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2019, subject to customary closing conditions. In connection with the entry into the Business Contribution Agreement, the Company has classified the assets and liabilities to be transferred to the Joint Venture under the Business Contribution Agreement as held for sale in its condensed, consolidated financial statements in the quarter ended September 30, 2019. Accordingly, the Company recorded those assets and liabilities at fair value, less estimated transaction costs. As a result of the classification as held for sale, the Company recognized an impairment charge in its Sugar and Bioenergy segment, principally related to the recognition of cumulative currency translation effects, of $1,524 million , recorded in COGS, in the quarter ended September 30, 2019. During the period the company's sugar and bioenergy assets are held for sale, total Bunge shareholders' equity will be reduced by the above-mentioned impairment charge, as included in the impairment charges of $1,524 million recorded in the third quarter, were the consideration of cumulative foreign currency translation losses totaling $1,491 million . These cumulative currency translation effects are recorded as “Foreign currency translation adjustments” in accumulated other comprehensive income and will be released from accumulated other comprehensive income when the transaction closes. Accordingly, upon close, this release of cumulative currency translation effects will substantially offset the reduction of total equity from the impairment charge recorded in the quarter ended September 30, 2019. The following table presents the major classes of assets and liabilities included in Assets held for sale and Liabilities held for sale on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at September 30, 2019: (US$ in millions) Trade accounts receivable $ 28 Inventories 306 Other current assets 139 Property, plant and equipment, net 812 Operating lease assets 271 Other non-current assets 44 Impairment provision to record at fair value, less cost to sell (1,524 ) Assets held for sale $ 76 Trade accounts payable $ 73 Current operating lease obligations 46 Other current liabilities 67 Non-current operating lease obligations 228 Other non-current liabilities 46 Liabilities held for sale $ 460

LEASES

LEASES	9 Months Ended

Leases [Abstract]
LEASES	LEASES The Company routinely leases storage facilities, transportation equipment, land, and office facilities which are typically classified as operating leases. The accounting for some of the Company's leases may require significant judgment when determining whether a contract is or contains a lease, the lease term, and the likelihood of renewal or termination options. Leases with an initial term of more than 12 months are recognized on the balance sheet as right-of-use assets (Operating lease assets) and lease liabilities for the obligation to make payments under such leases (Current operating lease obligations and Non-current operating lease obligations). As of the lease commencement date, the lease liability is initially measured as the present value of lease payments not yet paid. The lease asset is initially measured equal to the lease liability and adjusted for lease payments made at or before lease commencement (e.g., prepaid rent), lease incentives, and any initial direct costs. Over time, the lease liability is reduced for lease payments made and the lease asset is reduced through expense, classified as either Cost of goods sold or Selling, general and administrative expense depending upon the nature of the lease. Lease assets are subject to review for impairment in a manner consistent with Property, plant and equipment. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less (“short-term leases”) are not recorded on the balance sheet, and lease expense for these short-term leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company’s leases range in length of term, with an average remaining lease term of 6.4 years , but with certain land leases continuing for up to 93 years . Additionally, certain leases contain renewal options that can extend the lease term up to an additional 5 years . Renewal options are generally exercisable solely at the Company’s discretion. When a renewal option is reasonably certain to be exercised, such additional terms are considered when calculating the associated operating lease asset and liability. When determining the lease liability at commencement of the lease, the present value of lease payments is based on the Company’s incremental borrowing rate determined using a portfolio approach and the Company’s incremental cost of debt, adjusted to arrive to the rate in the applicable country and for the applicable term of the lease, as the rate implicit in the lease is generally not readily determinable. As of September 30, 2019 , such weighted average discount rate was 6.5% . Certain of the Company’s freight supply agreements for ocean freight vessels and rail cars, as well as land leases associated with agricultural partnership agreements for the production of sugarcane, may include rental payments that are variable in nature. Variable payments on time charter agreements for ocean freight vessels under freight supply agreements are dependent on then current market daily hire rates. Variable payments for certain rail cars can be based on volumes, and in some cases, benchmark interest rates. Payments under the Company's agricultural partnership agreements in Brazil are dependent on the quantity of sugarcane produced per hectare, the total recoverable sugar ("ATR") per ton of sugarcane produced, and the price for each kilogram of ATR as determined by Consecana, the state of São Paulo sugarcane, sugar and ethanol council. All such variable payments are not included in the calculation of the associated operating lease asset or liability subsequent to the inception date of the associated lease and are recorded as expense in the period in which the adjustment to the variable payment obligation is incurred. Certain of the Company’s lease agreements related to railcars and barges contain residual value guarantees (see Note 16, Commitments and Contingencies). None of the Company’s lease agreements contain material restrictive covenants. The components of lease expense were as follows: (US$ in millions) Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended Operating lease cost $ 97 $ 257 Short-term lease cost 270 571 Variable lease cost 9 17 Sublease income (30 ) (80 ) Total lease cost $ 346 $ 765 Supplemental cash flow information related to leases was as follows: Nine Months Ended Cash paid for amounts included in the measurement of lease liabilities: Operating cash flows associated with operating leases $ 252 Supplemental non-cash information: Right-of-use assets obtained in exchange for lease obligations $ 229 Maturities of lease liabilities for operating leases as of September 30, 2019 , are as follows: (US$ in millions) Remaining in 2019 $ 77 2020 275 2021 230 2022 186 2023 139 Thereafter 299 Total lease payments (1) 1,206 Less imputed interest 221 Total present value of lease liabilities 985 Less: Current operating lease obligations classified as held for sale (Note 3) (46 ) Non-current operating lease obligations classified as held for sale (Note 3) (228 ) Present value of lease liabilities, as separately presented on the condensed consolidated balance sheet $ 711 (1) Minimum lease payments have not been reduced by minimum sublease income receipts of $41 million due in future periods under non-cancelable subleases. Non-cancelable subleases primarily relate to agreements with third parties for the use of portions of certain facilities with remaining sublease terms of approximately 6 years , as well as an agreement with an unconsolidated joint venture in which the Company subleases rail cars with remaining sublease terms of approximately three to four years . Additionally, the Company may enter into re-let agreements to sell the right to use ocean freight vessels under time charter agreements when excess capacity is available . As of September 30, 2019 , the Company has additional operating leases for freight supply agreements on ocean freight vessels, that have not yet commenced, of $356 million . These operating leases will commence in 2019 and 2020 , with lease terms of up to eight years . Prior year lease disclosures The following pertains to previously disclosed information from Note 21, Commitments and contingencies and Note 26, Lease commitments , contained in the Company's 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K, which incorporates information about leases now in scope of ASC 842, Leases , disclosed above.

INCOME TAXES

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
INCOME TAXES	INCOME TAXES Income tax expense is provided on an interim basis based on management’s estimate of the annual effective income tax rate and includes the tax effects of certain discrete items, such as changes in tax laws or tax rates or other unusual or non-recurring tax adjustments in the interim period in which they occur. In addition, jurisdictions with a projected loss for the year or a year-to-date loss where no tax benefit can be recognized are excluded from the estimated annual effective tax rate. The effective tax rate is highly dependent on the geographic distribution of the Company’s worldwide earnings or losses and tax regulations in each jurisdiction. Management regularly monitors the assumptions used in estimating its annual effective tax rate and adjusts estimates accordingly, including the realizability of deferred tax assets. Volatility in earnings within a taxing jurisdiction could result in a determination that additional valuation allowance adjustments may be warranted. For the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 , income tax expense related to continuing operations was $70 million and $106 million , respectively. The lower income tax expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 is primarily due to an overall pretax loss and the favorable resolution of uncertain tax positions. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 was adversely impacted primarily due to non-deductible currency losses on the held for sale classification of the company's sugar milling business. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 was closer to the statutory rate of 21%. As a global enterprise, the Company files income tax returns that are subject to periodic examination and challenge by federal, state and foreign tax authorities. In many jurisdictions, income tax examinations, including settlement negotiations or litigation, may take several years to finalize. The Company is currently under examination or litigation in various locations throughout the world. While it is difficult to predict the outcome or timing of resolution of any particular matter, management believes that the condensed consolidated financial statements reflect the largest amount of tax benefit that is more likely than not to be realized.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS	FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS The fair value standard describes three levels within its hierarchy that may be used to measure fair value. Level Description Financial Instrument (Assets / Liabilities) Level 1 Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Exchange traded derivative contracts. Marketable securities in active markets. Level 2 Observable inputs, including adjusted Level 1 quotes, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are less active than traded exchanges and other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. Exchange traded derivative contracts (less liquid market). Level 3 Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are a significant component of the fair value of the assets or liabilities. Assets and liabilities whose value is determined using proprietary pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies or similar techniques. In many cases, a valuation technique used to measure fair value includes inputs from multiple levels of the fair value hierarchy. The lowest level of input that is a significant component of the fair value measurement determines the placement of the entire fair value measurement in the hierarchy. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment and may affect the classification of fair value assets and liabilities within the fair value hierarchy levels. The Company’s policy regarding the timing of transfers between levels, including both transfers into and transfers out of Level 3, is to measure and record the transfers at the end of the reporting period. For a further definition of fair value and the associated fair value levels, refer to Note 15, Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements , included in the Company's 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The following table sets forth, by level, the Company’s assets and liabilities that were accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis.

There were $60 million and $3 million included in other non-current assets at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 , respectively. There were also $7 million included in assets held for sale (Note 3) at September 30, 2019 . (2) Other includes the fair values of marketable securities and investments in other current assets and other non-current assets.

(4) Unrealized losses on derivative contracts are generally included in other current liabilities. There are $1 million and $33 million included in other non-current liabilities at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 , respectively. There were also $22 million included in liabilities held for sale (Note 3) at September 30, 2019 . Readily marketable inventories —RMI reported at fair value are valued based on commodity futures exchange quotations, broker or dealer quotations, or market transactions in either listed or OTC markets with appropriate adjustments for differences in local markets where the Company's inventories are located. In such cases, the inventory is classified within Level 2. Certain inventories may utilize significant unobservable data related to local market adjustments to determine fair value. In such cases, the inventory is classified as Level 3. If the Company used different methods or factors to determine fair values, amounts reported as unrealized gains and losses on derivative contracts and RMI at fair value in the consolidated balance sheets and consolidated statements of income could differ. Additionally, if market conditions change subsequent to the reporting date, amounts reported in future periods as unrealized gains and losses on derivative contracts and RMI at fair value in the consolidated balance sheets and consolidated statements of income could differ. Derivatives —The majority of exchange traded futures and options contracts and exchange cleared contracts are valued based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets and are classified within Level 1. The majority of the Company’s exchange-traded agricultural commodity futures are cash-settled on a daily basis and, therefore, are not included in these tables. The Company's forward commodity purchase and sale contracts are classified as derivatives along with other OTC derivative instruments relating primarily to freight, energy, foreign exchange and interest rates, and are classified within Level 2 or Level 3 as described below. The Company estimates fair values based on exchange quoted prices, adjusted as appropriate for differences in local markets. These differences are generally valued using inputs from broker or dealer quotations, or market transactions in either the listed or OTC markets. In such cases, these derivative contracts are classified within Level 2. OTC derivative contracts include swaps, options and structured transactions that are generally fair valued using quantitative models that require the use of multiple market inputs including quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets which are not highly active, other observable inputs relevant to the asset or liability, and market inputs corroborated by correlation or other means. These valuation models include inputs such as interest rates, prices and indices to generate continuous yield or pricing curves and volatility factors. Where observable inputs are available for substantially the full term of the asset or liability, the instrument is categorized in Level 2. Certain OTC derivatives trade in less active markets with less availability of pricing information and certain structured transactions can require internally developed model inputs that might not be observable in or corroborated by the market. Level 3 Measurements The following relates to Level 3 measurements. An instrument may transfer into or out of Level 3 due to inputs becoming either observable or unobservable. Level 3 Readily marketable inventories and other —The significant unobservable inputs resulting in Level 3 classification for RMI, physically settled forward purchase and sale contracts, and trade accounts payable, relate to certain management estimations regarding costs of transportation and other local market or location-related adjustments, primarily freight related adjustments in the interior of Brazil and the lack of market corroborated information in Canada. In both situations, the Company uses proprietary information such as purchase and sale contracts and contracted prices to value freight, premiums and discounts in its contracts. Movements in the price of these unobservable inputs alone would not have a material effect on the Company's financial statements as these contracts do not typically exceed one future crop cycle. Level 3 Derivatives —Level 3 derivative instruments utilize both market observable and unobservable inputs within the fair value measurements. These inputs include commodity prices, price volatility, interest rates, volumes and locations. The tables below present reconciliations for assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 . These instruments were valued using pricing models that management believes reflect the assumptions that would be used by a marketplace participant.

DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDG

DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES	9 Months Ended

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]
DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES	DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES The Company uses derivative instruments to manage several market risks, such as interest rate, foreign currency rate, and commodity risk. Some of those hedges the Company enters into qualify for hedge accounting in the financial statements (Hedge Accounting Derivatives) and some, while intended as economic hedges, do not qualify or are not designated for hedge accounting (Economic Hedge Derivatives). As these derivatives impact the financial statements in different ways, they are discussed separately below. Hedge Accounting Derivatives - The Company uses derivatives in qualifying hedge accounting relationships to manage certain of its interest rate, foreign currency, and commodity risks. In executing these hedge strategies, the Company primarily relies on the shortcut and critical terms match methods in designing its hedge accounting strategy, which results in little to no net earnings impact for these hedge relationships. The Company monitors these relationships on a quarterly basis and performs a quantitative analysis to validate the assertion that the hedges are highly effective if there are changes to the hedged item or hedging derivative. Fair value hedges - These derivatives are used to hedge the effect of interest rate and currency exchange rate changes on certain long-term debt. Under fair value hedge accounting, the derivative is measured at fair value and the carrying value of hedged debt is adjusted for the change in value related to the exposure being hedged, with both adjustments offset to earnings. In other words, the earnings effect of an increase in the fair value of the derivative will be substantially offset by the earnings effect of the increase in the carrying value of the hedged debt. The net impact of fair value hedge accounting for interest rate swaps is recognized in Interest expense. For cross currency swaps the changes in currency risk on the derivative are recognized in Foreign exchange gains (losses), and the changes in interest rate risk are recognized in Interest expense. Changes in basis risk are held in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) until realized through the coupon. Cash flow hedges of currency risk - The Company manages currency risk on certain forecasted purchases, sales, and selling, general and administrative expenses with currency forwards. The change in the value of the forward is classified in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) until the transaction affects earnings, at which time the change in value of the currency forward is reclassified to Net sales, Cost of goods sold or Selling, general and administrative expenses. These hedges mature at various times through March 2021 . Of the amount currently in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), $(4) million is expected to be reclassified to earnings in the next twelve months. Cash flow hedges of commodity risk - The Company manages commodity price risk on certain forecasted purchases and sales with commodity futures. The change in the value of the future is classified in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) until the transaction affects earnings, at which time the change in value of the commodity future is reclassified to Net sales or Cost of goods sold. These hedges mature at various times through March 2021 . Of the amount currently in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), $9 million is expected to be reclassified to earnings in the next twelve months. Net investment hedges - The Company hedges the currency risk of certain of its foreign subsidiaries with currency forwards and intercompany loans for which the currency risk is remeasured through Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). For currency forwards, the forward method is used. The change in the value of the forward is classified in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) until the transaction affects earnings. The table below provides information about the balance sheet values of hedged items and the notional amount of derivatives used in hedging strategies. The notional amount of the derivative is the number of units of the underlying (for example, the notional principal amount of the debt in an interest rate swap). The notional amount is used to compute interest or other payment streams to be made under the contract and is a measure of the Company’s level of activity. The Company discloses derivative notional amounts on a gross basis.

Interest rate derivatives are used to hedge exposures to the Company's financial instrument portfolios and debt issuances. The impact of changes in fair value of these instruments is primarily presented in Interest expense. Currency derivatives are used to hedge the balance sheet and commercial exposures that arise from the Company's global operations. The impact of changes in fair value of these instruments is presented in Cost of goods sold when hedging commercial exposures and Foreign exchange gains (losses) when hedging monetary exposures. Agricultural commodity derivatives are used primarily to manage the Company's inventory and forward purchase and sales contracts. Contracts to purchase agricultural commodities generally relate to current or future crop years for delivery periods quoted by regulated commodity exchanges. Contracts for the sale of agricultural commodities generally do not extend beyond one future crop cycle. The impact of changes in fair value of these instruments is presented in Cost of goods sold. The Company uses derivative instruments referred to as forward freight agreements ("FFA") and FFA options to hedge portions of its current and anticipated ocean freight costs. The impact of changes in fair value of these instruments is presented in Cost of goods sold. The Company uses energy derivative instruments to manage its exposure to volatility in energy costs. Hedges may be entered into for natural gas, electricity, coal and fuel oil, including bunker fuel. The impact of changes in fair value of these instruments is presented in Cost of goods sold. The Company may also enter into other derivatives, including credit default swaps and equity derivatives to manage exposure to credit risk and broader macroeconomic risks, respectively. The impact of changes in fair value of these instruments is presented in Cost of goods sold. The table below summarizes the volume of economic derivatives as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 . For those contracts traded bilaterally through the over-the-counter markets (e.g., forwards, forward rate agreements ("FRA") and swaps), the gross position is provided.

Debt Disclosure [Abstract]
DEBT	DEBT Bunge’s commercial paper program is supported by an identical amount of committed back-up bank credit lines (the “Liquidity Facility”) provided by banks that are rated at least A-1 by Standard & Poor’s Financial Services and P-1 by Moody’s Investors Service. The cost of borrowing under the Liquidity Facility would typically be higher than the cost of issuing under Bunge’s commercial paper program. At September 30, 2019 , there were $550 million of borrowings outstanding under the commercial paper program and no borrowings under the Liquidity Facility. In addition to committed facilities, from time to time, Bunge Limited and/or its financing subsidiaries enter into uncommitted bilateral short-term credit lines as necessary based on its financing requirements. At September 30, 2019 , there was $400 million outstanding under these bilateral short-term credit lines. Loans under such credit lines are non-callable by the respective lenders. In addition, Bunge's operating companies had $875 million in short-term borrowings outstanding under local bank lines of credit at September 30, 2019 to support working capital requirements. At September 30, 2019 , Bunge had $4,088 million of unused and available borrowing capacity under its committed credit facilities totaling $5,015 million with a number of lending institutions. The fair value of Bunge’s long-term debt is based on interest rates currently available on comparable maturities to companies with credit standing similar to that of Bunge. The carrying amounts and fair value of long-term debt are as follows: September 30, 2019 December 31, 2018 (US$ in millions) Carrying Value Fair Value (Level 2) Carrying Fair Value Long-term debt, including current portion $ 4,646 $ 4,728 $ 4,622 $ 4,584 On July 1, 2019, Bunge entered into an unsecured five -year multi-currency syndicated term loan agreement (the "Term Loan") in the Japanese loan market, with certain lenders party thereto. The Term Loan is comprised of two tranches: Tranche A, Japanese Yen 30.7 billion ( $285 million ) bearing interest at three-month Yen LIBOR plus a margin of 0.75% and Tranche B, $90 million bearing interest at three-month LIBOR plus a margin of 1.30% . The proceeds were used to pre-pay amounts outstanding under Bunge’s existing multi-currency syndicated term loan facility in the Japanese loan market maturing in December 2019.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES	9 Months Ended

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES	COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES Bunge is party to claims and lawsuits, primarily non-income tax and labor claims in South America, arising in the normal course of business. Bunge is also involved from time to time in various contract, antitrust, environmental litigation and remediation and other litigation, claims, government investigations and legal proceedings. The ability to predict the ultimate outcome of such matters involves judgments, estimates and inherent uncertainties. Bunge records liabilities related to legal matters when the exposure item becomes probable and can be reasonably estimated. Bunge management does not expect these matters to have a material adverse effect on Bunge’s financial condition, results of operations or liquidity. However, these matters are subject to inherent uncertainties and there exists the remote possibility that a liability arising from these matters could have a material adverse impact in the period the uncertainties are resolved should the liability substantially exceed the amount of provisions included in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Included in other non-current liabilities at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 are the following amounts related to these matters: (US$ in millions) September 30, 2019 (1) December 31, Non-income tax claims $ 82 $ 94 Labor claims 72 78 Civil and other claims 85 95 Total $ 239 $ 267 (1) At September 30, 2019, non-income tax claims, labor claims, and civil and other claims include $4 million , $23 million , and $2 million , respectively, related to the Company's Brazilian sugar and bioenergy operations, recorded in Liabilities held for sale. Brazil Indirect Taxes Non-income tax claims - These tax claims relate principally to claims against Bunge’s Brazilian subsidiaries, primarily value-added tax claims (ICMS, ISS, IPI and PIS/COFINS). The determination of the manner in which various Brazilian federal, state and municipal taxes apply to the operations of Bunge is subject to varying interpretations arising from the complex nature of Brazilian tax law. In addition to the matter discussed below, Bunge monitors other potential claims in Brazil regarding these value-added taxes. In particular, Bunge monitors the Brazilian federal and state governments’ responses to recent Brazilian Supreme Court decisions invalidating on constitutional grounds certain ICMS incentives and benefits granted by various states. While Bunge was not a recipient of any of the incentives and benefits that were the subject of these Supreme Court decisions, it has received other similar tax incentives and benefits which are being challenged before the Supreme Court. In August 2017, Complementary Law 160/2017 (“LC 160/2017”) was published, authorizing the states, through an agreement to be reached within the framework of CONFAZ (National Council of Fiscal Policy), to grant amnesty for tax debts arising from existing tax benefits granted without previous CONFAZ authorization and to maintain such existing benefits still in force for up to 15 years. In December 2017, Interstate Agreement ICMS 190/2017 was published to regulate Complementary Law 160/2017, which endorsed the past incentives granted by the Brazilian states of CONFAZ. Bunge has not received any tax assessment from the states that granted these incentives or benefits related to their validity and, based on Bunge's evaluation of this matter as required by U.S. GAAP, no liability has been recorded in the condensed consolidated financial statements. On February 13, 2015, Brazil’s Supreme Federal Court ruled in a leading case that certain state ICMS tax credits for staple foods (including soy oil, margarine, mayonnaise and wheat flours) are unconstitutional. Bunge, like other companies in the Brazilian food industry, is involved in several administrative and judicial disputes with Brazilian states regarding these tax credits. While the leading case does not involve Bunge and each case is unique in facts and circumstances and applicable state law, the ruling has general precedent authority in lower court cases. Based on management’s review of the ruling (without considering the future success of any potential clarification or modulation of the ruling) and its general application to Bunge’s pending cases, management recorded a liability in the fourth quarter of 2014. Since 2015, Bunge settled a portion of its outstanding liabilities in amnesty programs in certain Brazilian states. In the fourth quarter of 2018, Bunge participated in an amnesty program in the Brazilian state of Rio Grande do Sul, which resulted in a discounted settlement of certain cases. As a result, the liability was reduced to 239 million Brazilian reais (approximately $57 million ) as of September 30, 2019 . As of September 30, 2019 , the Brazilian federal and state authorities have concluded examinations of the ICMS and PIS COFINS tax returns and have issued the outstanding claims (including applicable interest and penalties) as of: (US$ in millions) Years Examined September 30, 2019 December 31, 2018 ICMS 1990 to Present $ 252 $ 264 PIS/COFINS 2004 through 2015 $ 215 $ 231 Argentina Export Tax Since 2010, the Argentine tax authorities have been conducting a review of income and other taxes paid by exporters and processors of cereals and other agricultural commodities in the country. In that regard, the Company has been subject to a number of assessments, proceedings, and claims related to its activities. During 2011, Bunge’s subsidiary in Argentina paid $112 million of accrued export tax obligations under protest and preserved its rights with respect to such payment. In 2012, the Argentine tax authorities further assessed interest on these payments, which as of September 30, 2019 , totaled approximately $321 million . In 2012, the Argentine government suspended Bunge’s Argentine subsidiary from a registry of grain traders. While the suspension has not had a material adverse effect on Bunge’s business in Argentina, these actions have resulted in additional administrative requirements and increased logistical costs on domestic grain shipments within Argentina. Bunge is challenging these actions in the Argentine courts. Labor claims — The labor claims are principally claims against Bunge’s Brazilian subsidiaries. The labor claims primarily relate to dismissals, severance, health and safety, salary adjustments and supplementary retirement benefits. Civil and other claims — The civil and other claims relate to various disputes with third parties, including suppliers and customers. During the first quarter of 2016, Bunge received a notice from the Brazilian Administrative Council for Economic Defense ("CADE") initiating an administrative proceeding against its Brazilian subsidiary and two of its employees, certain of its former employees, several other companies in the Brazilian wheat milling industry, and others for alleged anticompetitive activities in the north and northeast of Brazil. Additionally, in the second quarter of 2018, Bunge received a notification from CADE that it has extended the scope of an existing administrative proceeding relating to alleged anticompetitive practices in the Rio Grande port in Brazil to include certain of Bunge's Brazilian subsidiaries and certain former employees of those subsidiaries. Bunge is defending against these actions; however, the proceedings are at an early stage and Bunge cannot, at this time, reasonably predict the ultimate outcome of the proceedings or sanctions, if any, which may be imposed. Guarantees — Bunge has issued or was a party to the following guarantees at September 30, 2019 : (US$ in millions) Maximum Potential Future Payments Unconsolidated affiliates guarantee (1) (2) $ 303 Residual value guarantee (3) 260 Total $ 563 (1) Bunge has issued guarantees to certain financial institutions related to debt of certain of its unconsolidated affiliates. The terms of the guarantees are equal to the terms of the related financings which have maturity dates through 2034 . There are no recourse provisions or collateral that would enable Bunge to recover any amounts paid under these guarantees. In addition, a Bunge subsidiary has guaranteed the obligations of two of its affiliates and in connection therewith has secured its guarantee obligations through a pledge of one of its affiliate's shares plus loans receivable from the affiliate to the financial institutions in the event that the guaranteed obligations are enforced. Based on the amounts drawn under such debt facilities at September 30, 2019 , Bunge's potential liability was $161 million , and it has recorded a $17 million obligation related to these guarantees. (2) Bunge has issued guarantees to certain third parties related to performance of its unconsolidated affiliates. The terms of the guarantees are equal to the completion date of a port terminal which is expected to be completed in 2020 . There are no recourse provisions or collateral that would enable Bunge to recover any amounts paid under these guarantees. At September 30, 2019 , Bunge's maximum potential future payments under these guarantees was $54 million , and no obligation has been recorded related to these guarantees. (3) Bunge has issued guarantees to certain financial institutions which are party to certain operating lease arrangements for railcars and barges. These guarantees provide for a minimum residual value to be received by the lessor at the conclusion of the lease term. These leases expire at various dates from 2019 through 2024 . At September 30, 2019 , no obligation has been recorded related to these guarantees. Any obligation recorded would be recognized in Current operating lease obligations or Non-current operating lease obligations (see Note 4, Leases ). Bunge Limited has provided a guarantee to the Director of the Illinois Department of Agriculture as Trustee for Bunge North America, Inc. (“BNA”), an indirect wholly‑owned subsidiary, which guarantees all amounts due and owing by BNA to grain producers and/or depositors in the State of Illinois who have delivered commodities to BNA’s Illinois facilities. In addition, Bunge Limited has provided full and unconditional parent level guarantees of the outstanding indebtedness under certain credit facilities entered into, and senior notes issued, by its 100% owned subsidiaries. At September 30, 2019 , Bunge’s condensed consolidated balance sheet includes debt with a carrying amount of $6,176 million related to these guarantees. This debt includes the senior notes issued by two of Bunge’s 100% owned finance subsidiaries, Bunge Limited Finance Corp. and Bunge Finance Europe, B.V. There are largely no restrictions on the ability of Bunge Limited Finance Corp. and Bunge Finance Europe B.V. or any other Bunge subsidiary to transfer funds to Bunge Limited.

Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest, Equity, Carrying Amount [Abstract]
REDEEMABLE NONCONTROLLING INTEREST	REDEEMABLE NONCONTROLLING INTEREST In connection with the acquisition of a 70% ownership interest in IOI Loders Croklaan ("Loders"), the Company has entered into a put/call arrangement with the Loders minority shareholder and may be required or elect to purchase the additional 30% ownership interest in Loders within a specified time frame. The Company classifies these redeemable equity securities outside of permanent stockholders’ equity as the equity securities are redeemable at the option of the holder. The carrying amount of redeemable noncontrolling interests is the greater of: (i) the initial carrying amount, increased or decreased for the noncontrolling interests’ share of net income or loss, equity capital contributions and distributions or (ii) the redemption value. Any resulting increases in the redemption amount, in excess of the initial carrying amount, increased or decreased for the noncontrolling interests’ share of net income or loss and distributions, are affected by corresponding charges against retained earnings. Additionally, any such charges to retained earnings will affect Net income (loss) available to Bunge common shareholders as part of the Company's calculation of earnings per common share.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]
SEGMENT INFORMATION	SEGMENT INFORMATION The Company has five reportable segments - Agribusiness, Edible Oil Products, Milling Products, Sugar and Bioenergy, and Fertilizer, which are organized based upon similar economic characteristics and are similar in nature of products and services offered, the nature of production processes, and the type and class of customer and distribution methods. The Agribusiness segment is characterized by both inputs and outputs being agricultural commodities and thus high volume and low margin. The Edible Oil Products segment involves the processing, production and marketing of products derived from vegetable oils. The Milling Products segment involves the processing, production and marketing of products derived primarily from wheat and corn. The Sugar and Bioenergy segment involves sugarcane growing and milling in Brazil, as well as sugarcane-based ethanol production and corn-based ethanol investments and related activities. The Fertilizer segment includes its port operations in Brazil and Argentina and its blending and retail operations in Argentina. The “Other” column in the following table contains the reconciliation between the totals for reportable segments and Bunge's consolidated totals, which consists primarily of amounts attributable to corporate and other items not allocated to the reportable segments, discontinued operations, and inter-segment eliminations. Transfers between the segments are generally valued at market. The segment revenues generated from these transfers are shown in the following table as “Inter-segment revenues.” Three Months Ended September 30, 2019 (US$ in millions) Agribusiness Edible Oil Products Milling Products Sugar and Bioenergy Fertilizer Other (1) Total Net sales to external customers $ 7,008 $ 2,319 $ 437 $ 381 $ 178 $ — $ 10,323 Inter–segment revenues 1,225 37 1 — 8 (1,271 ) — Foreign exchange gains (losses) (56 ) 5 — (78 ) — — (129 ) Noncontrolling interests (1) 2 (7 ) — (1 ) (2 ) 2 (6 ) Other income (expense) – net 17 — (1 ) (1 ) — (11 ) 4 Segment EBIT (2) 44 52 7 (1,554 ) 21 (10 ) (1,440 ) Depreciation, depletion and amortization (64 ) (39 ) (13 ) (16 ) (2 ) — (134 ) Total assets 12,331 3,868 1,441 266 394 334 18,634 Three Months Ended September 30, 2018 (US$ in millions) Agribusiness Edible Milling Sugar and Fertilizer Other (1) Total Net sales to external customers $ 7,905 $ 2,298 $ 427 $ 629 $ 153 $ — $ 11,412 Inter–segment revenues 1,162 38 — — 1 (1,201 ) — Foreign exchange gains (losses) (23 ) (2 ) 4 3 (2 ) — (20 ) Noncontrolling interests (1) (10 ) (1 ) — 1 (1 ) 2 (9 ) Other income (expense) – net (4 ) (1 ) (1 ) (1 ) — (12 ) (19 ) Segment EBIT (2) 464 30 30 — 23 (12 ) 535 Discontinued operations (3) — — — — — 7 7 Depreciation, depletion and amortization (61 ) (40 ) (15 ) (41 ) (2 ) — (159 ) Total assets 13,767 3,926 1,498 1,763 345 147 21,446 Nine Months Ended September 30, 2019 (US$ in millions) Agribusiness Edible Oil Products Milling Products Sugar and Bioenergy Fertilizer Other (1) Total Net sales to external customers $ 20,995 $ 6,764 $ 1,293 $ 950 $ 355 $ — $ 30,357 Inter–segment revenues 3,471 110 1 1 28 (3,611 ) — Foreign exchange gains (losses) (74 ) 4 3 (80 ) — — (147 ) Noncontrolling interests (1) 4 (13 ) — (1 ) (2 ) 3 (9 ) Other income (expense) – net 84 — 7 (3 ) (2 ) 136 222 Segment EBIT (2) 335 125 41 (1,589 ) 28 125 (935 ) Depreciation, depletion and amortization (192 ) (119 ) (40 ) (72 ) (5 ) — (428 ) Total assets 12,331 3,868 1,441 266 394 334 18,634 Nine Months Ended September 30, 2018 (US$ in millions) Agribusiness Edible Milling Sugar and Fertilizer Other (1) Total Net sales to external customers $ 24,092 $ 6,772 $ 1,262 $ 1,774 $ 300 $ — $ 34,200 Inter–segment revenues 3,457 128 — 18 1 (3,604 ) — Foreign exchange gains (losses) (116 ) 2 4 — (6 ) — (116 ) Noncontrolling interests (1) (9 ) (6 ) — 1 (2 ) 3 (13 ) Other income (expense) – net 42 (5 ) (3 ) (14 ) 1 (12 ) 9 Segment EBIT (2) 612 69 73 (87 ) 12 (12 ) 667 Discontinued operations (3) — — — — — 12 12 Depreciation, depletion and amortization (192 ) (113 ) (44 ) (108 ) (6 ) — (463 ) Total assets 13,767 3,926 1,498 1,763 345 147 21,446 (1) Includes noncontrolling interests share of interest and tax to reconcile to consolidated Noncontrolling interests. (2) Total segment earnings before interest and taxes (“EBIT”) is an operating performance measure used by Bunge’s management to evaluate segment operating activities. Bunge’s management believes total Segment EBIT is a useful measure of operating profitability, since the measure allows for an evaluation of the performance of its segments without regard to its financing methods or capital structure. In addition, total Segment EBIT is a financial measure that is widely used by analysts and investors in Bunge’s industry. However, total Segment EBIT is a non-GAAP financial measure and is not intended to replace Net income (loss) attributable to Bunge, the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure. Further, total Segment EBIT is not a measure of consolidated operating results under U.S. GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to Net income (loss) or any other measure of consolidated operating results under U.S. GAAP. See the reconciliation of total Segment EBIT to Net income (loss) in the table below. (3) Represents Net income (loss) from discontinued operations. A reconciliation of total Segment EBIT to Net income (loss) attributable to Bunge follows: Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended (US$ in millions) 2019 2018 2019 2018 Total Segment EBIT from continuing operations $ (1,440 ) $ 535 $ (935 ) $ 667 Interest income 8 7 22 21 Interest expense (86 ) (101 ) (249 ) (265 ) Income tax (expense) benefit 28 (85 ) (70 ) (106 ) Income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax — 7 — 12 Noncontrolling interests' share of interest and tax 2 2 3 3 Net income (loss) attributable to Bunge $ (1,488 ) $ 365 $ (1,229 ) $ 332 The Company’s revenue comprises sales from commodity contracts that are accounted for under ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging (ASC 815) and sales of other products and services that are accounted for under ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (ASC 606).

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation	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, 2018 has been derived from Bunge’s audited consolidated financial statements at that date. Operating results for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2019 . The financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2018 , forming part of Bunge’s 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 22, 2019 .
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 statement of cash flows.
New Accounting Pronouncements	New Accounting Pronouncements In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326) , which introduces a new accounting model, referred to as the current expected credit losses ("CECL") model, for estimating credit losses on certain financial instruments and expands the disclosure requirements for estimating such credit losses. Under the new model, an entity is required to estimate the credit losses expected over the life of an exposure (or pool of exposures). The guidance also amends the current impairment model for debt securities classified as available-for-sale securities. The new guidance will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company will adopt the guidance under a modified-retrospective approach with a cumulative effect adjustment to opening retained earnings as of the effective date. The impact of this standard on the Company's consolidated financial statements cannot be reasonably determined at this time as the company works through data gathering, estimation methodologies, judgments, and accounting policy elections. In addition, Bunge expects the impact to be influenced by the composition of the portfolio, and current and expected environment as of the adoption date. Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements On January 1, 2019 the Company adopted ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) . Under the new provisions, all leases, except short-term leases, are recognized on the balance sheet as right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for the obligation to make payments under such leases. The Company has elected the amended transition approach provided by ASU 2018-11, Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements , which allows entities to apply the guidance as of the date of initial application by recognizing a cumulative-effect adjustment to opening retained earnings, with no retrospective adjustments. The Company also elected the package of practical expedients that permits the Company to not reassess under the new standard prior conclusions about lease identification, lease classification, and initial direct costs, as well as the practical expedient to not separate lease components from non-lease components in accounting for all classes of underlying assets. Upon adoption, the Company recorded $1,006 million of operating lease assets and $962 million of operating lease liabilities. Included in Operating lease assets at January 1, 2019 was $44 million of prepaid lease balances that were reclassified from Other non-current assets. On January 1, 2019 the Company adopted ASU 2018-02, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220) - Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income. This ASU allows a reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income ("AOCI") to retained earnings for stranded tax effects resulting from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act ("Tax Act"). Consequently, the ASU eliminates the stranded tax effects resulting from the Tax Act and will improve the usefulness of information reported to financial statement users. However, because this ASU only relates to the reclassification of the income tax effects of the Tax Act, the underlying guidance that requires that the effect of a change in tax laws or rates be included in income from continuing operations is not affected. The Company's stranded tax effects relate to unrecognized costs associated with certain pension plans for which the tax benefit was initially recorded to AOCI. Absent this ASU, the Company's policy is to release stranded tax effects upon the pension plans' termination. Upon the adoption of this ASU, the Company elected to reclassify the income tax effects of the Tax Act, resulting in a decrease to AOCI and an increase to retained earnings of $21 million

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
Fair value measurements, nonrecurring	The fair value standard describes three levels within its hierarchy that may be used to measure fair value. Level Description Financial Instrument (Assets / Liabilities) Level 1 Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Exchange traded derivative contracts. Marketable securities in active markets. Level 2 Observable inputs, including adjusted Level 1 quotes, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are less active than traded exchanges and other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. Exchange traded derivative contracts (less liquid market). Level 3 Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are a significant component of the fair value of the assets or liabilities. Assets and liabilities whose value is determined using proprietary pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies or similar techniques.

(2) Total segment earnings before interest and taxes (“EBIT”) is an operating performance measure used by Bunge’s management to evaluate segment operating activities. Bunge’s management believes total Segment EBIT is a useful measure of operating profitability, since the measure allows for an evaluation of the performance of its segments without regard to its financing methods or capital structure. In addition, total Segment EBIT is a financial measure that is widely used by analysts and investors in Bunge’s industry. However, total Segment EBIT is a non-GAAP financial measure and is not intended to replace Net income (loss) attributable to Bunge, the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure. Further, total Segment EBIT is not a measure of consolidated operating results under U.S. GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to Net income (loss) or any other measure of consolidated operating results under U.S. GAAP. See the reconciliation of total Segment EBIT to Net income (loss) in the table below. (3) Represents Net income (loss) from discontinued operations.
