Florida Agricultural Products Dealer Surety Bonds

Who needs an Agricultural Products Dealer Bond?

An agricultural dealer is any individual or company that engages in the purchasing, soliciting, handling or negotiation of agricultural products from their producers, or agents of their producers. Agricultural Products Dealer Surety Bonds are required in order to receive a license for the purchase and resale of agricultural products.

What is the purpose of Agricultural Products Dealer Surety Bonds?

These license and permit surety bonds are issued in order to guarantee that the producers of agricultural products, such as produce, grain, livestock and milk, receive the proper accounting of their goods and adequate payment for their products from dealers.

If the principal (agricultural products dealer) does not comply with the terms of the bond, a claim can be filed with the surety company for relief. If the claim is valid, the surety will pay up to the penal sum of the bond to resolve the claim. The principal is then required to reimburse the surety for all monies paid out, including any attorney fees incurred by the surety in the defense of the claim.
