Accounting Changes and Error Corrections [Abstract]
Correction of Prior Period Errors	Correction of Prior Period ErrorsAs previously disclosed in Note 24 to the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2020, management of the Company identified an immaterial accounting error in the Company’s previously reported unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements related to the accounting for the Company’s NCI. As a result, the accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes hereto for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 have been revised to give effect to the correction of this error. The correction of this error resulted in a reclassification of the carrying value of the NCI from previously reported permanent equity to temporary equity as of September 30, 2020, and a charge to previously reported additional paid-in capital to increase the carrying value of the Redeemable NCI during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 by $0.8 million and $1.2 million, respectively, which has been applied as an adjustment to previously reported net (loss) income attributable to AgroFresh Solutions, Inc. in the determination of basic and fully diluted net (loss) income per share attributable to AgroFresh stockholders for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020.
