The fair value estimation for agricultural produce at the harvesting point is strictly
controlled compared to biological assets (according to IAS 41). Therefore, harvested cereal,
animal sacrifice, picked fruits will be estimated at fair value minus point-of-sale costs, even if
they cannot be realistically estimated; the estimation at production costs, due to exceptional
circumstances, is not possible, as compared to biological assets. IASB states its premises,
which states that there is an active market and a suited price for agricultural produce.
Therefore, for agricultural harvested produce held as inventories, the fair value (minus point of-sale costs) is actually the initial value correspondent to the acquisition costs or production
costs (according to IAS 20).
