Last modified: 2023-09-27
Abstract
This study aims to maximize one of the economic contracts in Islam, namely the salam contract, to advance South Sulawesi's economy in the agricultural sector by involving the community, government, and Islamic financial institutions. Acceleration and maximization of Salam transactions in agriculture can be adequately realized if all parties, especially farmers, the government, and Islamic financial institutions, can contribute to a movement called Optimization and Acceleration of Salam Transactions (OAST), which is carried out in 4 (four) steps as follows: 1) Optimizing the purchase of agricultural products from local farmers through Salam transactions. 2) Involve government institutions and Islamic financial institutions to encourage salam transactions with local farmers and regulations that encourage salam transactions among farmers through farmer groups and individual farmers. 3) Innovate and modify the salam contract to adapt to the regulations and culture of the local community. 4) Sales of agricultural products must involve and build cooperation with certain institutions such as the Logistics Agency (BULOG), State-Owned Enterprises (BUMN), Regional-Owned Enterprises (BUMD), Islamic financial institutions, and other institutions so that the cycle of buying and selling products of agriculture might be more optimized from year to year.
