Islamic Finance for Agriculture

Islamic finance for agriculture operates under Shariah principles, emphasizing risk-sharing, profit-and-loss sharing, and prohibiting interest (riba). Instead of traditional loans, farmers may engage in mudarabah (partnership) or musharakah (joint venture) arrangements, where profits are shared based on predetermined ratios. This approach promotes ethical investing, fairness, and financial inclusivity, ensuring farmers access capital without violating Islamic laws. It also encourages sustainable practices and community development, supporting agricultural growth while aligning with Islamic values of justice and social responsibility.
