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, 2019 has been derived from Bunge’s audited consolidated financial statements at that date. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2020 . The financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2019 , forming part of Bunge’s 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 21, 2020 . Effective January 1, 2020, the Company changed its segment reporting to separately disclose Corporate and Other activities from its reporting segments, as further described in Note 20 - Segment Information . Certain reclassifications of prior period amounts within the reporting segments have been made to conform to current presentation. 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 condensed consolidated 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 new accounting pronouncements issued in 2020, as well updates on certain previously disclosed Accounting Standards Updates ("ASUs"). New Accounting Pronouncements In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848)- Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting, which provides temporary optional expedients and exceptions to the U.S. GAAP guidance on contract modifications and hedge accounting to ease the financial reporting burden related to the expected market transition from the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) and other interbank offered rates to alternative reference rates. The guidance is effective upon issuance and to be applied prospectively from any date beginning March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. The Company is evaluating the impact of this standard on its consolidated financial statements. In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740)- Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes, which reduces complexity in the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 74 0. The amendments also improve consistent application of and simplify U.S. GAAP for other areas of Topic 740 by clarifying and amending existing guidance. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022. Early adoption of the amendments is permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact of this standard on its consolidated financial statements. Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements On January 1, 2020 the Company adopted 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 Company adopted the guidance under a modified-retrospective approach with a cumulative effect adjustment to opening retained earnings. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on Bunge's consolidated financial statements. |

PORTFOLIO RATIONALIZATION INITIATIVES | PORTFOLIO RATIONALIZATION INITIATIVES Business Dispositions On December 20, 2019, Bunge announced that it has entered into an agreement to sell its margarine and mayonnaise assets in Brazil. The transaction includes three production plants and brands used for these two products. The completion of the sale is subject to regulatory approval and is expected to close in the second half of 2020. In connection with this agreement, the Company has classified the assets and liabilities to be sold as held for sale in its consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019. The following table presents the major classes of assets and liabilities included in Assets held for sale and Liabilities held for sale, respectively, on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019: (US$ in millions) March 31, December 31, Inventories $ 15 $ 19 Property, plant, and equipment, net 33 49 Other intangible assets, net 3 4 Assets held for sale $ 51 $ 72 Other current liabilities $ 3 $ 4 Liabilities held for sale $ 3 $ 4 |
LEASES
LEASES | 3 Months Ended |
Mar. 31, 2020 | |
Leases [Abstract] | |
LEASES | LEASES The Company routinely leases storage facilities, transportation equipment, land, and office facilities that 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 5.1 years , but with certain land leases continuing for up to 92 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 March 31, 2020 , this weighted average discount rate was 4.5% . Certain of the Company’s freight supply agreements for ocean freight vessels and rail cars 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. 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: Three Months Ended (US$ in millions) 2020 2019 Operating lease cost $ 64 $ 80 Short-term lease cost 149 152 Variable lease cost 4 3 Sublease income (14 ) (30 ) Total lease cost $ 203 $ 205 Supplemental cash flow information related to leases was as follows: Three Months Ended (US$ in millions) 2020 2019 Cash paid for amounts included in the measurement of lease liabilities: Operating lease liability principal payments $ 65 $ 79 Supplemental non-cash information: Right-of-use assets obtained in exchange for new lease obligations $ 29 $ 70 Maturities of lease liabilities for operating leases as of March 31, 2020 , are as follows: (US$ in millions) Remaining in 2020 $ 183 2021 203 2022 152 2023 110 2024 55 Thereafter 99 Total lease payments (1) 802 Less imputed interest 91 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 $24 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 5 years , as well as an agreement 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 March 31, 2020 , the Company has additional operating leases for freight supply agreements on ocean freight vessels, that have not yet commenced, of $182 million . These operating leases will commence in 2020 with lease terms of up to eight years . |

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”), each based on an underlying commodity trade flow, from financial institutions 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 March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 , time deposits and LCs of $3,847 million and $3,409 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 March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 , time deposits, including those presented on a net basis, carried weighted-average interest rates of 2.59% and 3.10% , respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 , total net proceeds from issuances of LCs were $1,490 million and $1,117 million , respectively. These cash inflows are 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. |

TRADE ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE AND TRADE RECEIVABLES SECURITIZATION PROGRAM | TRADE ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE AND TRADE RECEIVABLES SECURITIZATION PROGRAM Trade Accounts Receivable Bunge establishes an allowance for lifetime expected credit losses utilizing an aging schedule for each pool of trade accounts receivable. The risk characteristics for each individual receivable were homogenous across the pool of trade accounts receivable and the determination of pools was sufficiently granular to address any differences in risk characteristics. Any receivables that did not share similar risk characteristics were separated into different pools for further analysis. Pools are determined based on risks characteristics such as the type of customer and geography. A default rate is derived using a provision matrix with data based on Bunge's historical receivables information. The default rate is then applied to the pool to determine the allowance for expected credit losses. Given the short term nature of the Company's trade accounts receivable, the default rate is only adjusted if significant changes in the credit profile of the portfolio are identified (e.g., poor crop years, credit issues at the country level, systematic risk), resulting in historic loss rates that are not representative of forecasted losses. Specifically, in establishing appropriate default rates as of March 31, 2020, the Company took into consideration expected impacts on its customers and other debtors in view of the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as other factors, which did not result in a material impact on the financial statements. Bunge records and reports accrued interest receivable within the same line item as the related receivable. The allowance for expected credit losses is estimated on the amortized cost basis of the trade accounts receivable, including accrued interest receivable. Bunge recognizes credit loss expense when establishing an allowance for accrued interest receivable. Changes to the allowance for lifetime expected credit losses related to trade account receivables are as follows: Rollforward of the Allowance for Credit Losses (US$ in millions) Short-term Long-term (1) Total Allowance as of January 1, 2020 $ 108 $ 65 $ 173 Current period provisions 13 — 13 Write-offs charged against the allowance (1 ) — (1 ) Foreign exchange translation differences (3 ) (10 ) (13 ) Allowance as of March 31, 2020 $ 117 $ 55 $ 172 (1) Long-term portion of the allowance for credit losses included in Other non-current assets as of March 31, 2020. Trade Receivables Securitization Program Bunge and certain of its subsidiaries participate in a trade receivables securitization program (the “Program”) with a financial institution, as administrative agent, and certain commercial paper conduit purchasers and committed purchasers that provides for funding of receivables sold into the Program. On February 19, 2019 , Bunge exercised a portion of the $300 million accordion feature under the Program to increase the aggregate size of the facility by $100 million from $700 million to an aggregate of $800 million . (US$ in millions) March 31, December 31, Receivables sold which were derecognized from Bunge's balance sheet $ 818 $ 801 Deferred purchase price included in other current assets $ 112 $ 105 The table below summarizes the cash flows and discounts of Bunge’s trade receivables associated with the Program.

Recoverable taxes, net - Recoverable taxes are reported net of allowances of $31 million and $41 million at March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 , respectively. Judicial deposits - Judicial deposits are funds the Company has placed on deposit with the courts in Brazil. These funds are held in judicial escrow relating to certain legal proceedings pending resolution and bear interest at the SELIC rate, which is the benchmark rate of the Brazilian central bank. Income taxes receivable - Income taxes receivable include overpayments of current income taxes plus accrued interest. These income tax prepayments are expected to be primarily utilized for settlement of future income tax obligations. Income taxes receivable in Brazil bear interest at the SELIC rate. Affiliate loans receivable - Affiliate loans receivable are primarily interest-bearing receivables from unconsolidated affiliates with a remaining maturity of greater than one year . Long-term receivables from farmers in Brazil, net - The Company provides financing to farmers in Brazil, primarily through secured advances against farmer commitments to deliver agricultural commodities (primarily soybeans) upon harvest of the then-current year’s crop and through credit sales of fertilizer to farmers. Certain such long-term receivables from farmers are originally recorded in other current assets as prepaid commodity contracts or secured advances to suppliers (see Note 8 - Other Current Assets ) and reclassified to other non-current assets when collection issues with farmers arise and amounts become past due with resolution of such matters expected to take more than one year. The average recorded investment in long-term receivables from farmers in Brazil for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and the year ended December 31, 2019 was $168 million and $186 million , respectively.

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, results from jurisdictions projecting a loss for the year where no tax benefit can be recognized are treated discretely in the interim period in which they occur. 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. Income tax benefit related to continuing operations for the three months ended March 31, 2020 was $55 million , and income tax expense related to continuing operations for the three months ended March 31, 2019 was $38 million . The tax benefit for the three months ended March 31, 2020 is primarily due to an overall pretax loss. The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2020 is materially consistent with the U.S. statutory rate of 21%. The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2019 was higher than the U.S. statutory rate of 21% primarily due to an unfavorable earnings mix associated with pretax losses in certain jurisdictions. 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 Bunge's various financial instruments include certain components of working capital such as trade accounts receivable and trade accounts payable. Additionally, Bunge uses short and long-term debt to fund operating requirements. Trade accounts receivable, trade accounts payable, and short-term debt are stated at their carrying value, which is a reasonable estimate of fair value. See Note 5 - Trade Structured Finance Program for trade structured finance program, Note 9 - Other Non-Current Assets for long-term receivables from farmers in Brazil, net and other long-term investments, and Note 14 - Debt for long-term debt. Bunge's financial instruments also include derivative instruments and marketable securities, which are stated at fair value. 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). Readily marketable inventories. Over-the-counter (‘‘OTC’’) commodity purchase and sale contracts. OTC derivatives whose value is determined using pricing models with inputs that are generally based on exchange traded prices, adjusted for location specific inputs that are primarily observable in the market or can be derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data. Marketable securities in less active markets. 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. For a further definition of fair value and the associated fair value levels, refer to Note 15 - Fair Value Measurements, included in the Company's 2019 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. Fair Value Measurements at Reporting Date March 31, 2020 December 31, 2019 (US$ in millions) Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Assets: Readily marketable inventories (Note 7) $ — $ 3,660 $ 619 $ 4,279 $ — $ 3,703 $ 231 $ 3,934 Trade accounts receivable (1) — 19 — 19 — — — — Unrealized gain on derivative contracts (2) : 1 Interest rate — 103 — 103 — 45 — 45 Foreign exchange — 494 — 494 — 331 — 331 Commodities 36 1,019 18 1,073 34 481 9 524 Freight 21 — 1 22 10 — — 10 Energy 47 — — 47 56 — — 56 Other (3) 51 244 — 295 47 370 — 417 Total assets $ 155 $ 5,539 $ 638 $ 6,332 $ 147 $ 4,930 $ 240 $ 5,317 Liabilities: Trade accounts payable (4) $ — $ 384 $ 261 $ 645 $ — $ 347 $ 31 $ 378 Unrealized loss on derivative contracts (5) : Interest rate — 17 — 17 — 4 — 4 Foreign exchange — 1,162 — 1,162 — 257 — 257 Commodities 57 590 33 680 49 388 31 468 Freight 21 — 2 23 10 — — 10 Energy 89 1 — 90 26 — 2 28 Equity — — — — — — — — Total liabilities $ 167 $ 2,154 $ 296 $ 2,617 $ 85 $ 996 $ 64 $ 1,145 (1) These receivables are financial instruments for which Bunge has elected the fair value option. (2) Unrealized gains on derivative contracts are generally included in other current assets. There were $100 million and $39 million included in other non-current assets at March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 , respectively. (3) Other includes the fair values of marketable securities and investments in other current assets and other non-current assets. (4) These payables are hybrid financial instruments for which the Company has elected the fair value option. (5) Unrealized losses on derivative contracts are generally included in other current liabilities. There are $12 million and $1 million included in other non-current liabilities at March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 , respectively. 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 months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 . These instruments were valued using pricing models that management believes reflect the assumptions that would be used by a marketplace participant.

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, 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 held 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 December 2020 . Of the amount currently in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), $9 million of deferred losses 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.

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 March 31, 2020 , there were no 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 March 31, 2020 , there were no borrowings 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 $736 million in short-term borrowings outstanding under local bank lines of credit at March 31, 2020 to support working capital requirements. At March 31, 2020 , Bunge had $4,315 million of unused and available borrowing capacity under its committed credit facilities totaling $4,315 million with a number of lending institutions. The fair value of Bunge’s long-term debt is based on interest rates currently available on comparable maturities to companies with credit standing similar to that of Bunge. The carrying amounts and fair value of long-term debt are as follows: March 31, 2020 December 31, 2019 (US$ in millions) Carrying Value Fair Value (Level 2) Carrying Fair Value Long-term debt, including current portion $ 4,262 $ 4,201 $ 4,223 $ 4,319 |

Related Party Transactions [Abstract] | |
RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS | RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS Bunge annually purchases agricultural commodity products from certain of its unconsolidated investees and other related parties. Such related party purchases comprised less than 5% of total Cost of goods sold for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 . Bunge also sells agricultural commodity products to certain of its unconsolidated investees and other related parties. Such related party sales comprised less than 2% of total Net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 . In addition, Bunge receives services from and provides services to its unconsolidated investees, including tolling, port handling, administrative support, and other services. For the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 , such services were not material to the Company's consolidated results. At March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 , receivables and payables related to the above related party transactions, and included in Trade accounts receivable and Trade accounts payable, respectively, in the consolidated balance sheets were not material. |

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 consolidated balance sheets. Information regarding the claims appears in Bunge’s Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019. Included in other non-current liabilities at March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 are the following amounts related to these matters: (US$ in millions) March 31, December 31, Non-income tax claims $ 20 $ 23 Labor claims 39 50 Civil and other claims 76 88 Total $ 135 $ 161 Brazil Indirect Taxes Non-income tax claims - These tax claims relate to ongoing claims against Bunge’s Brazilian subsidiaries, primarily value-added tax claims (ICMS, ISS, IPI and PIS/COFINS). Bunge expects to pay 58 million Brazilian reais (approximately $11 million ) in 2020 or 2021 to settle a portion of its outstanding liabilities in amnesty programs in certain Brazilian states regarding certain tax credits. As of March 31, 2020 , the Brazilian federal and state authorities have concluded examinations of the ICMS and PIS COFINS tax returns and have issued outstanding claims (including applicable interest and penalties). The Company continues to evaluate the merits of each of these claims and will recognize them when loss is considered probable. The outstanding claims are comprised of the following: (US$ in millions) Years Examined March 31, 2020 December 31, 2019 ICMS 1990 to Present $ 174 $ 221 PIS/COFINS 2004 through 2016 $ 208 $ 268 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 were put on hold due to a Court injunction obtained by one of the defendants while the Courts determine whether the statute of limitations should be applied to the proceedings. Therefore, Bunge cannot, at this time, reasonably predict the ultimate outcome of the proceedings or sanctions, if any, that may be imposed. Guarantees — Bunge has issued or was a party to the following guarantees at March 31, 2020 : (US$ in millions) Maximum Potential Future Payments Unconsolidated affiliates guarantee (1) (2) $ 276 Residual value guarantee (3) 263 Total $ 539 (1) Bunge has issued financial and performance 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 that 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 March 31, 2020 , Bunge's potential liability was $176 million , and it has recorded a $14 million obligation related to these guarantees, inclusive of expected lifetime credit losses, which are determined based on historical financial information and are not expected to be material. (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 that 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 March 31, 2020 , Bunge's maximum potential future payments under these guarantees was $43 million , and no obligation has been recorded related to these guarantees. (3) Bunge has issued guarantees to certain financial institutions that are party to certain operating lease arrangements for railcars, barges, and buildings. 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 2020 through 2026 . At March 31, 2020 , 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 March 31, 2020 , Bunge’s condensed consolidated balance sheet includes debt with a carrying amount of $4,522 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 INFORMATION
SEGMENT INFORMATION | 3 Months Ended |

Segment Reporting [Abstract] | |
SEGMENT INFORMATION | SEGMENT INFORMATION The Company's operations are organized, managed and classified into 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 Company’s remaining operations are not reportable segments, as defined by the applicable accounting standard, and are classified as Corporate and Other. See Note 1 - Basis of Presentation, Principles Of Consolidation, And Significant Accounting Policies . 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. Up until December 2019, when the Company contributed its Brazilian sugar and bioenergy operations forming the majority of its Sugar and Bioenergy segment into a joint venture with the Brazilian biofuels business of BP p.l.c, the Sugar and Bioenergy segment primarily involved sugarcane growing and milling in Brazil, as well as sugarcane-based ethanol production and corn-based ethanol investments and related activities. The activities of the Fertilizer segment include port operations in Brazil and Argentina and blending and retail operations in Argentina. Corporate & Other includes salaries and overhead for corporate functions that are not allocated to the Company’s individual reporting segments because operating performance of each reporting segment is evaluated by the Company's chief operating decision maker exclusive of these items, as well as certain other activities including Bunge Ventures, the Company's captive insurance, and securitization activities. 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”.

(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. A reconciliation of total Segment EBIT to Net income (loss) attributable to Bunge follows: Three Months Ended (US$ in millions) 2020 2019 Total Segment EBIT from continuing operations $ (170 ) $ 151 Interest income 7 7 Interest expense (77 ) (75 ) Income tax (expense) benefit 55 (38 ) Noncontrolling interests' share of interest and tax 1 — Net income (loss) attributable to Bunge $ (184 ) $ 45 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).

Subsequent Events [Abstract] | |
SUBSEQUENT EVENTS | SUBSEQUENT EVENTS Business Dispositions On April 21, 2020, the Company issued a press release announcing that it has entered into an agreement to sell a portfolio of interior grain elevators located in the United States to Zen-Noh Grain Corporation in exchange for cash proceeds of $300 million , subject to customary closing adjustments. The completion of the sale is subject to customary closing conditions, including regulatory approval and is expected to close either in the last quarter of 2020 or first quarter of 2021. Investments in Affiliates Results associated with the Company’s 50% interest in its equity method investee, BP Bunge Bioenergia, which comprises the majority of its Sugar and Bioenergy segment, are reported on a one-month lag. As such, included in Other income (expense) - net for the three months ended March 31, 2020 is the Company’s share of losses from the investee for the three months ended February 29, 2020. Such losses were impacted by foreign exchange losses on the remeasurement of US dollar denominated debt into Brazilian real , the functional currency of the investee. Subsequent to February 29, 2020, through the date of issuance of the Company’s financial statements, the Brazilian real has continued to depreciate versus the U.S. dollar. As such, the Company believes that additional foreign exchange losses in relation to its investment in BP Bunge Bioenergia may be material to the Company’s financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020. |

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, 2019 has been derived from Bunge’s audited consolidated financial statements at that date. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2020 . The financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2019 , forming part of Bunge’s 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 21, 2020 . |
Reportable Segments | Effective January 1, 2020, the Company changed its segment reporting to separately disclose Corporate and Other activities from its reporting segments, as further described in Note 20 - Segment Information |
Reclassifications | Certain reclassifications of prior period amounts within the reporting segments have been made to conform to current presentation. |
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 condensed consolidated statement of cash flows. |
New Accounting Pronouncements and Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements | New Accounting Pronouncements In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848)- Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting, which provides temporary optional expedients and exceptions to the U.S. GAAP guidance on contract modifications and hedge accounting to ease the financial reporting burden related to the expected market transition from the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) and other interbank offered rates to alternative reference rates. The guidance is effective upon issuance and to be applied prospectively from any date beginning March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. The Company is evaluating the impact of this standard on its consolidated financial statements. In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740)- Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes, which reduces complexity in the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 74 0. The amendments also improve consistent application of and simplify U.S. GAAP for other areas of Topic 740 by clarifying and amending existing guidance. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022. Early adoption of the amendments is permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact of this standard on its consolidated financial statements. Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements On January 1, 2020 the Company adopted 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 Company adopted the guidance under a modified-retrospective approach with a cumulative effect adjustment to opening retained earnings. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on Bunge's consolidated financial statements. |
Trade Accounts Receivable | Bunge establishes an allowance for lifetime expected credit losses utilizing an aging schedule for each pool of trade accounts receivable. The risk characteristics for each individual receivable were homogenous across the pool of trade accounts receivable and the determination of pools was sufficiently granular to address any differences in risk characteristics. Any receivables that did not share similar risk characteristics were separated into different pools for further analysis. Pools are determined based on risks characteristics such as the type of customer and geography. A default rate is derived using a provision matrix with data based on Bunge's historical receivables information. The default rate is then applied to the pool to determine the allowance for expected credit losses. Given the short term nature of the Company's trade accounts receivable, the default rate is only adjusted if significant changes in the credit profile of the portfolio are identified (e.g., poor crop years, credit issues at the country level, systematic risk), resulting in historic loss rates that are not representative of forecasted losses. Specifically, in establishing appropriate default rates as of March 31, 2020, the Company took into consideration expected impacts on its customers and other debtors in view of the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as other factors, which did not result in a material impact on the financial statements. Bunge records and reports accrued interest receivable within the same line item as the related receivable. The allowance for expected credit losses is estimated on the amortized cost basis of the trade accounts receivable, including accrued interest receivable. Bunge recognizes credit loss expense when establishing an allowance for accrued interest receivable. |

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract] | |
Hierarchy levels that may be used to measure fair value | 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). Readily marketable inventories. Over-the-counter (‘‘OTC’’) commodity purchase and sale contracts. OTC derivatives whose value is determined using pricing models with inputs that are generally based on exchange traded prices, adjusted for location specific inputs that are primarily observable in the market or can be derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data. Marketable securities in less active markets. 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. |
