Hi,

No, there is no depreciation on biological assets. They are measured at fair value with gains/losses going through profit or loss.

Thanks

Yes, if we cannot measure fair value then we have to have an alternative method per the standard but it would be rare not to have a fair value given the markets available for selling agricultural products.

Thanks
