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, 2019 has been derived from Bunge’s audited consolidated financial statements at that date. Operating results for the nine months ended September 30, 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 . Corresponding prior period amounts have been restated to conform to current period classification. Effective July 1, 2020, the Company changed it's reporting of cash proceeds from and repayments of short-term debt with maturities of 90 days or less to separately present such cash proceeds and repayments in its condensed consolidated statement of cash flows. Prior to July 1, 2020, the Company presented cash proceeds from and repayments of short-term debt with maturities of 90 days or less on a net basis. Prior period amounts have been reclassified 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 and cash equivalents, and restricted cash reported within the condensed consolidated balance sheets that sum to the total of the same such amounts shown in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.

Accounting Standards Update and Change in Accounting Principle [Abstract] | |
ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS | ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS The below outlines new accounting pronouncements issued in 2020 and provides updates on certain previously disclosed Accounting Standards Updates ("ASUs"). New Accounting Pronouncements In August 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU 2020-06, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40), which simplifies the accounting for convertible instruments and contracts in an entity’s own equity. The guidance also addresses how convertible instruments are accounted for in the diluted earnings per share calculation and requires enhanced disclosures about the terms of convertible instruments and contracts in an entity’s own equity. Either a modified retrospective method of transition or a fully retrospective method of transition is permissible for the adoption of this standard. ASU 2020-06 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted no earlier than the fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2020. The Company is evaluating the impact of this standard on its condensed consolidated financial statements. In March 2020, the 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 is to be applied prospectively from any date beginning March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. The Company continues to evaluate the impacts of this standard on its condensed 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, 2020, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption of the amendments is permitted. This standard is not expected to have a material impact on Bunge's condensed 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. 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 condensed consolidated financial statements. |

LEASES
LEASES | 9 Months Ended |

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 expenses, 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 5.2 years, but with one water rights lease continuing for up to 91 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 at 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, 2020, this weighted average discount rate was 4.2%. Certain of the C ompany’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 Nine Months Ended (US$ in millions) 2020 2019 2020 2019 Operating lease cost $ 72 $ 97 $ 203 $ 257 Short-term lease cost 161 270 452 571 Variable lease cost 2 9 8 17 Sublease income (23) (30) (51) (80) Total lease cost $ 212 $ 346 $ 612 $ 765 Supplemental cash flow information related to leases was as follows: Nine Months Ended (US$ in millions) 2020 2019 Cash paid for amounts included in the measurement of lease liabilities: Operating lease liability principal payments $ 202 $ 252 Supplemental non-cash information: Right-of-use assets obtained in exchange for new lease obligations $ 265 $ 229 Maturities of lease liabilities for operating leases as of September 30, 2020, are as follows: (US$ in millions) Remaining in 2020 $ 72 2021 248 2022 194 2023 146 2024 90 Thereafter 173 Total lease payments (1) 923 Less imputed interest (99) Present value of lease liabilities 824 Less present value of lease liabilities held for sale (7) Present value of lease liabilities, as separately presented on the condensed consolidated balance sheet $ 817 (1) Minimum lease payments have not been reduced by minimum sublease income receip ts of $21 million due in future periods under non-cancelable subleases as of September 30, 2020. Non-cancelable subleases primarily relate to agreements with third parties for the use of portions of certain facilities with remaining sublease terms of approximately five years, as well as an agreement in which the Company subleases rail cars with remaining sublease terms of approximately two years. Additionally, from time to time the Company may enter into re-let agreements to sell the right to use ocean freight ves sels under time charter agreements when excess capacity is available. As of September 30, 2020, the Comp any has additional operating leases for freight supply agreements on ocean freight vessels that have not yet commenced of $29 million. These operating leases will commence in 2020 with lease terms of up to seven 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 September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, time deposits and LCs of $5,034 million and $3,409 million, respectively, are presented net on the condensed consolidated balance sheets as the criteria of ASC 210-20, Offsetting , have 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 September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, time deposits, including those presented on a net basis, carried weighted-average interest rates of 2.08% and 3.10%, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, total net proceeds from issuances of LCs were $3,839 million and $2,281 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. |

Transfers and Servicing [Abstract] | |
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 risk 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 September 30, 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 accounts receivable 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 (2) 55 — 55 Recoveries (31) (2) (33) Write-offs charged against the allowance (24) — (24) Foreign exchange translation differences (9) (13) (22) Allowance as of September 30, 2020 (2) $ 99 $ 50 $ 149 (1) Long-term portion of the allowance for credit losses included in Other non-current assets. (2 ) In addition to the above mentioned current period provisions associated with lifetime expected credit losses, in 2020 the Company was engaged in collection proceedings with a customer in relation to an outstanding account receivable dating from 2015. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, Bunge recorded a $51 million bad debt reserve, within Selling, general and administrative expenses, as well as a $15 million legal provision, within Other income (expense) – net, in its condensed consolidated statement of income in relation to the matter. There was no impact to the condensed consolidated statement of income for the three months ended September 30, 2020. As the litigation is ongoing, it is at least reasonably possible that the estimated amount of the loss will change in the near term. Trade Receivables Securitization Program Bunge and certain of its subsidiaries participate in a trade receivables securitization program (the “Program”) with a financial institution, as administrative agent, and certain commercial paper conduit purchasers and committed purchasers that provides for funding of receivables sold into the Program. (US$ in millions) September 30, December 31, Receivables sold which were derecognized from Bunge's balance sheet $ 885 $ 801 Deferred purchase price included in other current assets $ 118 $ 105 The table below summarizes the cash flows and discounts of Bunge’s trade receivables associated with the Program. Servicing fees under the Program were not significant in any period.

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 expense was $38 million and $151 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively. Income tax benefit was $28 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and income tax expense was $70 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 benefited primarily from the release of valuation allowances in Europe and Asia. Income tax expense was lower for each of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, primarily due to an overall pre-tax loss during each period. The effective tax rate for each of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 was adversely impacted primarily by non-deductible currency losses associated with the classification of the Company’s Brazilian sugar and bioenergy business as held for sale. |

Financial Instruments And Fair Value Measurements [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. 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. 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.

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 condensed consolidated balance sheets and condensed 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 condensed consolidated balance sheets and condensed 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, trade accounts receivable, 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 prices 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, 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 2021. Of the amount currently in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), $(3) 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. 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, 2020 and December 31, 2019. For those contracts traded bilaterally through the OTC 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”) provide d 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, 2020, there were $398 million of borrowings outstanding under the commercial paper program and no borrowings under the Liquidity Facility, and at December 31, 2019, there were no borrowings outstanding under the commercial paper program and no borrowings outstanding under the Liquidity Facility. On August 17, 2020, Bunge completed the sale and issuance of $600 million aggregate principal amount of 1.630% unsecured senior notes (“Notes”) due August 17, 2025. The Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Bunge. The offering was made pursuant to a shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (Registration No. 333-231083) filed by the Company and its 100% owned finance subsidiary Bunge Limited Finance Corp. with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Interest on the Notes is payable semi-annually in arrears in February and August of each year, commencing on February 17, 2021. At any time prior to July 17, 2025 (one month before maturity of the Notes), the Company may elect to redeem and repay the Notes, at any time in whole, or from time to time in part, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes being redeemed on the redemption date. The net proceeds of the offering were approximately $595 million after deducting underwriting commissions, the original issue discount and offering fees and expense payable by Bunge. Bunge used the net proceeds from this offering for general corporate purposes, including the repayment of certain short-term debt that included borrowings under the commercial paper program. At September 30, 2020 , Bunge had $3,617 million of unused and available borrowing capacity under its committed credit facilities totaling $4,315 million with a number of lending institutions. At December 31, 2019, Bunge had $4,315 million of unused and available borrowing capacity under its c ommitted long-term credit facilities with a number of lending institutions. 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, 2020 and December 31, 2019 there were $217 million and no borrowings, respectively, 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 $695 million and $771 million in short-term borrowings outstanding under local bank lines of credit at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 , respectively, to support working capital requirements. The fair value of Bunge’s long-term debt is based on interest rates currently available on comparable maturities to companies with credit standing similar to that of Bunge. The carrying amounts and fair value of long-term debt are as follows: September 30, 2020 December 31, 2019 (US$ in millions) Carrying Fair Value Carrying Fair Value Long-term debt, including current portion $ 4,928 $ 5,017 $ 4,223 $ 4,319 |

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. 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 September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 are the following amounts related to these matters: (US$ in millions) September 30, December 31, Non-income tax claims $ 19 $ 23 Labor claims 47 50 Civil and other claims 74 88 Total $ 140 $ 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 38 million Brazilian reais (approximately $7 million) in 2020 or 2021 to settle a po rtion of its outstanding liabilities in amnesty programs in certain Brazilian states regarding certain tax credits. As of September 30, 2020, the Brazilian federal and state authorities have concluded examinations of the ICMS and PIS COFINS tax returns and have issued outstanding claims. The Company continues to evaluate the merits of each of these claims and will recognize them when loss is considered probable. The outstanding claims comprise the following: (US$ in millions) Years Examined September 30, 2020 December 31, 2019 ICMS 1990 to Present $ 162 $ 221 PIS/COFINS 2004 through 2016 $ 191 $ 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. This proceeding was put on hold due to a court injunction obtained by one of the defendants in a case related to the application of the statute of limitations. 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 administrative proceedings and, in case it is unsuccessful, the proceedings can be further litigated in the judicial courts. Therefore, Bunge cannot at this time reasonably predict the ultimate outcome of the cases or sanctions, if any, that may be imposed. Refer to Note 6 - Trade Accounts Receivable and Trade Receivable Securitization Program for additional information regarding contingencies in relation to outstanding customer claims at the balance sheet date. Guarantees — Bunge has issued or was a party to the following guarantees at September 30, 2020: (US$ in millions) Maximum Unconsolidated affiliates guarantee (1) (2) $ 296 Residual value guarantee (3) 270 Total $ 566 (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, certain Bunge subsidiaries have guaranteed the obligations of certain of their affiliates and in connection therewith have secured their guarantee obligations through a pledge of certain of their affiliate's shares plus loans receivable from the affiliates 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, 2020, Bunge's potential liability was $218 million, and it has recorded a $13 million obligation r elated 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) As of September 30, 2020, 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 was substantially complete at September 30, 2020. There are no recourse provisions or collateral that would enable Bunge to recover any amounts paid under these guarantees. At September 30, 2020, Bunge's maximum potential future payments under these guarantees wa s $37 million, a nd 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 September 30, 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 September 30, 2020, Bunge’s condensed consolidated balance sheet includes debt with a carrying amo unt of $6,121 million related to these guarantees. This debt includes the senior notes issued by two of Bunge’s 100% owned fi nance 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. |

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's operations are organized, managed and classified into five reportable segments - Agribusiness, Edible Oil Products, Milling Products, Sugar and Bioenergy, and Fertilizer, based upon their similar economic characteristics, products and services offered, production processes, types and classes 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. The Sugar & Bioenergy segment primarily comprises the net earnings in the Company’s 50% interest in BP Bunge Bioenergia, a joint venture formed in December 2019 through the combination of the Company’s Brazilian sugar and bioenergy operations, together with the Brazilian biofuels business of BP p.l.c. (“BP”). Prior to December 2019, the Company’s Sugar and Bioenergy results reflect its 100% ownership interest in the Brazilian sugarcane growing and milling, and sugarcane-based ethanol production activities contributed to the joint venture . The activities of the Fertilizer segment include port operations in Brazil and Argentina, and blending and retail operations in Argentina. Corporate and Other includes salaries and overhead for corporate functions that are not allocated to the Company’s individual reporting segments because the 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.” Three Months Ended September 30, 2020 (US$ in millions) Agribusiness Edible Milling Sugar and Fertilizer Corporate and Other Eliminations Total Net sales to external customers $ 7,108 $ 2,434 $ 416 $ 48 $ 153 $ — $ — $ 10,159 Inter–segment revenues 1,293 78 — 1 1 — (1,373) — Foreign exchange gains (losses) 59 (3) 1 — 1 (4) — 54 Noncontrolling interests (1) (2) (2) — — (1) — — (5) Other income (expense) – net 16 (1) — — — 2 — 17 Income (loss) from affiliates 18 — (1) 18 — — — 35 Segment EBIT (2) 299 76 16 23 29 (92) — 351 Depreciation, depletion and amortization (51) (38) (10) — (1) (6) — (106) Total assets 14,650 3,746 1,240 166 283 676 — 20,761 Three Months Ended September 30, 2019 (US$ in millions) Agribusiness Edible Milling Sugar and Fertilizer Corporate and Other Eliminations 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) (57) 5 — (78) — 1 — (129) Noncontrolling interests (1) 2 (6) — (1) (1) — — (6) Other income (expense) – net 16 (13) (3) 3 1 (8) — (4) Income (loss) from affiliates 10 — — (2) — — — 8 Segment EBIT (2) 107 59 14 (1,543) 22 (99) — (1,440) Depreciation, depletion and amortization (61) (38) (13) (15) (2) (5) — (134) Total assets 11,717 3,829 1,431 275 375 1,007 — 18,634 Nine Months Ended September 30, 2020 (US$ in millions) Agribusiness Edible Milling Sugar and Fertilizer Corporate and Other Eliminations Total Net sales to external customers $ 20,247 $ 6,886 $ 1,213 $ 124 $ 324 $ — $ — $ 28,794 Inter–segment revenues 3,756 164 — 1 2 — (3,923) — Foreign exchange gains (losses) 76 — 1 — 1 (3) — 75 Noncontrolling interests (1) (6) 5 — (1) — — — (2) Other income (expense) – net 40 (3) (1) — — 1 — 37 Income (loss) from affiliates 43 — (1) (118) — — — (76) Segment EBIT (2) 1,015 173 64 (112) 53 (274) — 919 Depreciation, depletion and amortization (158) (112) (33) — (4) (16) — (323) Total assets 14,650 3,746 1,240 166 283 676 — 20,761 Nine Months Ended September 30, 2019 (US$ in millions) Agribusiness Edible Milling Sugar and Fertilizer Corporate and Other Eliminations 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) (76) 4 3 (80) — 2 — (147) Noncontrolling interests (1) 5 (12) — (1) (1) — — (9) Other income (expense) – net 65 (18) 3 1 — 150 — 201 Income (loss) from affiliates 24 — — (3) — — — 21 Segment EBIT (2) 457 161 61 (1,567) 30 (77) — (935) Depreciation, depletion and amortization (182) (116) (39) (70) (5) (16) — (428) Total assets 11,717 3,829 1,431 275 375 1,007 — 18,634 (1) Include 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) attributable to Bunge in the table below. A reconciliation of Total Segment EBIT to Net income (loss) attributable to Bunge follows: Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended (US$ in millions) 2020 2019 2020 2019 Net income (loss) attributable to Bunge $ 262 $ (1,488) $ 594 $ (1,229) Interest income (5) (8) (18) (22) Interest expense 56 86 195 249 Income tax expense (benefit) 38 (28) 151 70 Noncontrolling interests' share of interest and tax — (2) (3) (3) Total Segment EBIT from continuing operations $ 351 $ (1,440) $ 919 $ (935) 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).

EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS | EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANSOn July 17, 2020 the Company approved a one-time lump sum offering to certain participants in Bunge's defined benefit U.S. Pension Plan who have separated from the Company as of December 31, 2019 and whose benefits in the plan have fully vested. The participants have until November 9, 2020 to accept the offer, following which the respective payments will be completed by December 31, 2020. The total amount of payments, which will be paid from plan assets as settlement of respective benefit obligations, will depend upon the number of participants that accept the offer. However, the maximum payout is $144 million. The payment is not expected to materially impact the net funding status of the plan nor result in any material gain or loss to the Company. On July 24, 2020 the Company made a one-time cash contribution payment to its defined benefit pension plans of $65 million, in addition to the $19 million expected contributions for the year ending December 31, 2020 previously disclosed in the Company's 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed on February 21, 2020. |

Subsequent Events [Abstract] | |
SUBSEQUENT EVENT | SUBSEQUENT EVENTS On October 22, 2020, the Company entered into an unsecured $1,250 million 364-day Revolving Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with a group of lenders. The Credit Agreement includes a $1,000 million tranche (“Tranche A”) and a $250 million tranche (“Tranche B”). Borrowings under the Credit Agreement will bear interest at LIBOR plus an applicable margin, as defined in the Credit Agreement. Each lender under Tranche A is required to fund all borrowing requests delivered by Bunge unless such lender has delivered a declining lender notice to the administrative agent by 9.00am (New York City time) on the date such borrowing request is delivered. The lenders under Tranche B do not have the right to deliver a declining lender notice to Bunge. Bunge may also, from time to time, request one or more of the existing or new lenders to increase the total participations and commitments under Tranche A and Tranche B of the Credit Agreement by an aggregate amount up to $250 million pursuant to an accordion provision The Credit Agreement matures on October 21, 2021. On October 8, 2020, the Company was notified that the Brazilian Federal Court (the “Court”) ruled in favor of the Company in a case against Brazilian tax authorities regarding the computation of certain indirect (non-income) taxes receivable, dating from 2009 to present. Upon finalization of amounts receivable by the Company with the Brazilian tax authorities, the timing of which is unclear, the Company will recognize a gain, including the related interest receivable, in its consolidated statement of income (loss). |

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 nine months ended September 30, 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 |
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 August 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU 2020-06, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40), which simplifies the accounting for convertible instruments and contracts in an entity’s own equity. The guidance also addresses how convertible instruments are accounted for in the diluted earnings per share calculation and requires enhanced disclosures about the terms of convertible instruments and contracts in an entity’s own equity. Either a modified retrospective method of transition or a fully retrospective method of transition is permissible for the adoption of this standard. ASU 2020-06 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted no earlier than the fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2020. The Company is evaluating the impact of this standard on its condensed consolidated financial statements. In March 2020, the 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 is to be applied prospectively from any date beginning March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. The Company continues to evaluate the impacts of this standard on its condensed 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, 2020, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption of the amendments is permitted. This standard is not expected to have a material impact on Bunge's condensed 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. 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 condensed 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 risk 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 September 30, 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. |

Financial Instruments And Fair Value Measurements [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. 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. |
Schedule of assets and liabilities accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis | The following table sets forth, by level, the Company’s assets and liabilities that were accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis.

(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) attributable to Bunge in the table below. |
