b) The agricultural produce at the harvesting point isactually the harvested product and
the biological asset of the company. The harvest is the detachment of produce form the
biological asset, or ceasing the vital processes ofa biological asset. The harvested agricultural
produce must be evaluated and accounted on basis ofthe results, at its fair values, minus sale
costs during harvest. According to IAS 2 – Inventories, this estimation leads to the input cost
for the harvest estimation. In this case, the fair value is estimated in the following order:
Current price existent on an active market
Most recent transaction price
Current market price for similar assets or products, considering possible
dissimilarities
Sector references
There are situations where there is no reference price or value for a biological asset; in
this circumstance the fair value will be calculated as updated value of assets’ net expected
cash flows. This standard implies that there is always a realistic way of determining fair
value; if not, one will consider applying the amortized cost as replacement for the fair value.
