The warehousing of agricultural production by a farmer subject to an actual taxation system with a third party and then, where applicable, its repossession does not result in the recognition of a profit or loss for the determination of taxable income, provided that the agricultural products remain entered as stocks on the farmer’s balance sheet.
For the application of the first paragraph, a warehousing agreement is the contract by which agricultural production is the subject of a non-individualised deposit in the shops of a company which is responsible for storing it, processing it or carrying out other services on this production and may be taken back identically or to the equivalent by the farmer.
Warehoused agricultural production that is not repossessed remains recorded in the farmer’s balance sheet as stocks at its value at the closing date of the financial year during which the warehousing took place, increased only by the costs invoiced by the warehousing organisation, until the date of collection of the sums representing the disposal of the products in question or the advance payments received on these sums.
Agricultural production that is warehoused and then taken back by the farmer remains on the farmer’s balance sheet as inventory until control and the future economic benefits attached to this production are transferred.
