The Company’s share of the undistributed earnings of its unconsolidated affiliates as of December 31, 2018 is $2.4 billion.  The Company's investment in Wilmar has a carrying value of $3.9 billion as of December 31, 2018, and a market value of $3.6 billion based on quoted market price converted to U.S. dollars at the applicable exchange rate at December 31, 2018. The investment has been in an unrealized loss position for less than 12 months. The Company evaluated the near-term prospects of the investee in relation to the severity and duration of the impairment. Based on that evaluation, the Company does not consider this equity method investment to be other-than-temporarily impaired at December 31, 2018.

The Company provides credit facilities totaling $105 million to four unconsolidated affiliates.  Two facilities that are due on demand and bear interest between 0.00% and 5.74% have a total outstanding balance of $34 million. The other two facilities have no outstanding balance as of December 31, 2018.  The outstanding balance is included in other current assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.
