VA agricultural products dealer bonds.
From $125. Enter your amount.
Virginia repealed its Dealers in Agricultural Produce licensing law (Code §§ 3.2-4738 to 3.2-4752) effective July 1, 2025 — so the old state produce-dealer bond is no longer a standing state mandate. When a buyer, grower, or contract still asks for one today, we issue it from $125 — your exact price is set by your bond amount at the application, and pricing is 2% of the bond amount plus a $25 fee, with a $125 minimum.

What it is and who needs it.
What this bond actually covers — and what changed in 2025
For decades, Virginia licensed dealers in agricultural produce through the Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (VDACS) and conditioned the license on a surety bond. The bond was a payment guarantee for growers: it secured the dealer's faithful accounting and payment to the producers, agents, and representatives it bought from.
That program no longer exists as a state mandate. The General Assembly repealed the Dealers in Agricultural Produce article (Code §§ 3.2-4738 through 3.2-4752) by Acts 2025, c. 142, effective July 1, 2025. So unlike most license bonds, there is no current Virginia produce-dealer license or bond requirement to satisfy.
When a Virginia produce buyer is asked for this bond today, it is generally a contractual or legacy requirement — a grower cooperative, a packing house, or a private contract that still conditions dealings on a surety bond. We issue whatever amount you were asked for, from $125, with your exact price set at the application. The application collects no credit information at the standard amount, and most applicants are approved instantly. If you believe a live state filing still applies to you, confirm with VDACS before you buy — we would rather you not pay for a bond no one requires.
