How much does an agricultural products dealer bond in Florida cost?
The Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services requires agricultural products dealers to post surety bonds in varying amounts. The required bond amount must be twice the dollar value of business done in Florida during the month in which the highest volume of agricultural products were bought or handled. The bond amount must be between $5,000 and $100,000.
These bonds are subject to underwriting, which means that the price an applicant pays for the bond is determined by the required bond amount and a review of his or her personal credit report. Our surety professionals will tell you exactly how much you’ll pay for your bond when you complete a bond request today!

Why do I need this bond?
By posting a Florida agricultural products dealer surety bond, principals (agricultural products dealers) pledge to never impose false charges for services in connection with agricultural products, make fraudulent sales, or intentionally make false statements regarding the grade, conditions, markings, or quality of goods. This particular bond also ensures that principals make all necessary payments to the producers they obtain their products from.
If the principal fails to follow the rules of the bond contract and state, industry, and consumers are harmed as a result, the surety will reimburse the harmed parties for any damages up to the full bond amount. The agricultural products dealer, in turn, must repay the surety for all damages paid out.
