7. © 2011 IFRS Foundation. 30 Cannon Street | London EC4M 6XH | UK. www.ifrs.org 7 Section 34 – Agriculture An entity that is engaged in agricultural activity shall measure each class of its biological assets: –at fair value (for those biological assets for which fair value is readily determinable without undue cost or effort) –at cost (for all other biological assets)

8. © 2011 IFRS Foundation. 30 Cannon Street | London EC4M 6XH | UK. www.ifrs.org 8 Section 34 – Agriculture – fair value model An entity shall measure a biological asset at its fair value less cost to sell: –on initial recognition –at each reporting date Changes in fair value less cost to sell are recognised in profit or loss.

9. © 2011 IFRS Foundation. 30 Cannon Street | London EC4M 6XH | UK. www.ifrs.org 9 Section 34 – Agriculture – fair value model Example At 31/12/20X1, an entity’s plantation consists of 100 Pine trees that were planted 10 years earlier. A pine tree takes 30 years to mature. –fair value less cost to sell at 31/12/20X0 = CU100 –fair value less cost to sell at 31/12/20X1 = CU105 At 31/12/20X1 the entity will recognise CU5 income in profit or loss (ie CU105 less CU100).

10. © 2011 IFRS Foundation. 30 Cannon Street | London EC4M 6XH | UK. www.ifrs.org 10 Section 34 – Agriculture – fair value model Agricultural produce harvested from biological assets is measured at its fair value less cost to sell at the point of harvest. This measurement is the cost at that date when applying Section 13 Inventories (or another section of the IFRS for SMEs).

11. © 2011 IFRS Foundation. 30 Cannon Street | London EC4M 6XH | UK. www.ifrs.org 11 Section 34 – Agriculture – fair value model In determining fair value, an entity considers: The quoted price in an active market (if one exists) If no active market, considers: 1)the most recent market transaction price 2)market prices for similar assets 3)sector benchmarks (eg value of cattle expressed per kilogram of meat)

12. © 2011 IFRS Foundation. 30 Cannon Street | London EC4M 6XH | UK. www.ifrs.org 12 Section 34 – Agriculture – fair value model Disclosures –description of each class of biological assets –methods and significant assumptions applied in determining the fair value –reconciliation of changes in the carrying amount of biological assets between the beginning and the end of the current period.

13. © 2011 IFRS Foundation. 30 Cannon Street | London EC4M 6XH | UK. www.ifrs.org 13 Section 34 – Agriculture – cost model The entity measures at cost less any accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses those biological assets whose fair value is not readily determinable without undue cost or effort.
