Rules and licenses

Florida agricultural dealer licenses can sit behind produce resale

Florida produce resale, wholesale buying, and farm-to-market business plans can involve an FDACS agricultural dealer license and bond.

Florida produce can look simple from the roadside: strawberries, citrus, tomatoes, melons, greens, and a handwritten sign.

The business side can have more underneath it. Florida has an FDACS license and bond lane for agricultural dealers. The produce-resale FAQ points people back to that same question when they buy produce and resell it.

That can matter for a market stand, restaurant supplier, roadside seller, packing contact, or new buyer trying to work with farms. The question is not only whether the fruit looks good. It is whether the payment and resale plan are in the right lane.

Before buying produce for resale, check FDACS and ask what license or bond applies to the exact plan. Keep invoices, seller names, delivery papers, and license information together. Florida farm country moves quickly in season. Clean paperwork helps the work stay friendly.

If the plan changes from casual buying to resale, check again before the next load moves.
