Exhibit 31.1

                    CERTIFICATION OF CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER

I, JEFFREY I. DREBEN, certify that:

1.       I have reviewed this Annual Report on Form 10-KSB of CVF Technologies
    Corporation;

2.       Based on my knowledge, this Annual Report does not contain any untrue
statement of material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make
the statements made, in light of the circumstances under which such statements
were made, not misleading with respect to the period covered by this Annual
Report.

3.       Based on my knowledge, the financial statements, and other financial
information included in this Annual Report, fairly present in all material
respects the financial condition, result of operation and cash flows of the
Registrant as of, and for, the periods presented in this Annual Report.

4.       The registrant's other certifying officers and I are responsible for
establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in
Exchange Act Rules 13a-14 and 15d-14) for the registrant and we have:

                  a)       designed such disclosure controls and procedures to
    ensure that material information relating to the registrant, including its
    consolidated subsidiaries, is made known to us by others within those
    entities, particularly during the period in which this Annual Report is
    being prepared;

                  b)       evaluated the effectiveness of the registrant's
    disclosure controls and procedures and presented in this report our
    conclusions about the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and
    procedures, as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report based
    on such evaluation.

                  c)       disclosed in this Annual Report any change in the
    registrant's internal control over financial reporting that occurred during
    the registrant's most recent fiscal quarter (the registrant's fourth fiscal
    quarter in the case of an annual report) that has materially affected, or is
    reasonable likely to materially affect, the registrant's internal control
    over financial reporting; and

5.       The registrant's other certifying officers and I have disclosed, based
on our most recent evaluation, to the registrant's auditors and the audit
committee of registrant's board of directors (or persons performing the
equivalent function);

                  a)       all significant deficiencies in the design or
    operation of internal control over financial reporting which are reasonably
    likely to adversely affect the registrant's ability to record, process,
    summarize and report financial information; and

                  b)       any fraud, whether or not material, that involves
    management or other employees who have a significant role in the
    registrant's internal control over financial reporting.
