Sharia Economic Model through Profit Sharing Principle as Farmer Culture in Serang Regency, Banten Indonesia

Abstract

Efforts in agricultural management need to be continuously pursued, in order to have productivity. One alternative in agricultural management is the sharia economic model with a profit-sharing system. The Islamic economic model developed in this study is a profit-sharing system using "maro" (half share) and "mertelu" (having third share) methods. To examine this, research was conducted on farmers on the coastal coast of Serang Regency. The aim of research was to know the concepts of "maro" and "mertelu" in terms of sharia economic. The approach to achieve this objective is to use field observations during the harvest season. The assessment is carried out starting from the process of threshing grain to milling by applying the “maro” and “mertelu” profit-sharing system. The results of the study show that the concepts of "maro" and "mertelu" are in accordance with the agreement or the Mudharabah law. The profit-sharing system implemented through the maro and mertelu traditions can increase family income. While the mudrabah law is a contract in which a certain wealth or stock is offered by its owner or management to another party, to form a partnership.
