A properly licensed and reproducible 24- or 36-month issuer market-cap history is not stored, so market-cap methods are not estimated from a current spot price.
Business-activity disclosure
Bunge processes and merchandises oilseeds, grains, edible oils and food ingredients. Agricultural processing is generally permissible, but biofuels, commodity derivatives and structured trade finance require contract- and activity-level review.
Limitation: The filing does not provide a reproducible prohibited-revenue numerator for biofuels, interest-bearing trade finance, derivatives or other screened activity categories.
Purification
Interest income is disclosed at 0.21% of quarterly net sales, but product- and contract-level screened revenue remains incomplete and no universal purification amount is inferred.
Inputs, assumptions and primary sources
- Debt combines $3,245 million of short-term debt, $1,361 million of current long-term debt and $9,947 million of long-term debt.
- Cash is $839 million. The $102 million time-deposit balance under Bunge's trade structured-finance program is shown separately as identifiable interest-bearing securities.
- Quarterly net sales are $21,861 million and disclosed interest income is $45 million.
- Bunge does not separately quantify revenue from ethanol, conventional trade finance, derivatives or other product and contract categories that may be treated differently by scholars.
This is a reproducible financial screen, not a fatwa. A failed total-assets screen can coexist with a pass under a market-cap methodology. ZakatInvest keeps the qualitative assessment separate so numerical thresholds do not erase material context.
