Certificate of Investment
Investment Program
The Central Valley Ag (CVA) Certificate of Investment Program provides member-owners with the chance to invest additional equity in the cooperative for a one-year term, offering a competitive interest rate.
This allows patrons to earn a premium on their investment while also benefiting the cooperative by mitigating borrowing costs. Ultimately, the program represents a mutually beneficial arrangement, delivering added value to cooperative owners.

- Interest rate is 4.9% as of March 1, 2024
- CVA has the right to change the interest rate at any time, normally occurs quarterly

Benefits of the Program
- Competitive Interest Rate: CVA is offering an interest rate of 4.9% as of March 1, 2024. Local financial institutions are offering interest rates at 2.15% for a 1-year CD. This gives the patron the ability to earn a premium on the money they choose to invest in the CVA Certificate of Investment Program.
- Cooperative Savings: CVA also saves on interest rate fees when the cooperative has to borrow less from financial institutions. Thus again, bringing value back to the producers who are owners of the cooperative.
