Is Bunge Global (BG) stock Halal?
Bunge Global SA (BG) is not Shariah compliant in the September 2026 AAOIFI screening: it fails the interest-bearing debt screen. Tabadulat re-screens BG monthly, and a stock can return to compliance when new financial reports change its ratios.
Bunge Global is a leading agribusiness and food company that operates in the global production, processing, and distribution of agricultural commodities and food products. Its primary function is to bridge the gap between farmers and consumers, by sourcing grains, oilseeds, and other essentials, ensuring their efficient processing and subsequent supply to markets worldwide. Bunge's activities have significant implications across several key sectors such as agriculture, food production, and bioenergy, influencing market dynamics and food security. Before any of that matters to a Muslim investor, one question comes first: is Bunge Global stock Halal?
Is Bunge Global Shariah compliant?
Consumer staples companies like Bunge Global face the screening question at the shelf, not the balance sheet: does any revenue come from alcohol, tobacco or other impermissible lines? AAOIFI Shariah Standard No. 21 tolerates such income only below 5% of revenue, with the financial ratios checked behind it.
Does Bunge Global pass the business activity test?
The activity screen is only part of the picture this month: Bunge Global currently fails the interest-bearing debt screen, so the overall verdict is not compliant regardless of the business itself. The watch item is the product mix: any alcohol, tobacco or similar lines count against the 5% ceiling.
Is Bunge Global's income Halal?
Yes, within AAOIFI's tolerance. Bunge Global's income from non-permissible sources stays below 5% of revenue in the September 2026 screening.
Does Bunge Global meet AAOIFI's debt and investment ratio requirements?
Not in full. Interest bearing debt currently exceeds the 30% cap, while the other ratio stays within it. One breach is enough to fail the screening; the ratios are reassessed monthly under our Shariah Supervisory Board.
