The Implementation of Salam-Contract For Agriculture Financing Through Islamic-Corporate Social Responsibility (Case Study of Paddy Farmers in Tuban Regency Indonesia)

Ahmad Hudaifah, Bambang Tutuko, Sawarjuwono Tjiptohadi

Abstract

This research is aimed at discovering a stable financial scheming
formula or model that would be compatible with the natural characteristics of
a paddy farming cycle in Tuban. The qualitative research employs the use of an
active participatory community through the means of a focus group discussion, an
in-depth interview and face to face interviews with respective stakeholders and
key informants. The Salam contract, which is highly beneficial is a prospective
financial scheme that terminates the long business chain found in most businesses
in Indonesia. The Corporate Social Responsibility which is managed through the
Syariah approach (I-CSR) from a company, can become the solution to bridge
the gap found in the implementation of funds for a Salam contract. The Salam
contract applicability is dependent on the Islamic farmer cooperatives (BMT), a
unit of joint venture organization serving as the key players in the execution of
the function of a paddy warehouse-trading agent and direct financing to farmers.
Strong support also comes from the zakat, infāq, and shodaqoh institution (LAZ)
whose role is educating and encouraging the paddy farmers’ skills and competency,
especially to enable them access end-user markets using the aid of information
technology.

 

Penelitian ini betujuan untu menemukan formula skema pembiayaan
pertanian yang stabil sesuai dengan karakteristik alamiah pertanian padi
di Kabupaten Tuban. Metode penelitian kualitatif dipergunakan dalam
menyelesaikan penelitian ini dengan partisipasi aktif komunitas melalui
media diskusi kelompok, wawancara mendalam tatap muka dan observasi
kepada informan kunci dan pihak yang terlibat secara langsung dalam tata-
niaga pertanian padi di Kabupaten Tuban. Kontrak salam adalah skema
pembiayaan yang sangat menguntungkan bagi petani dan pada aplikasinya
mampu mengambil peran pembiayaan distributor dalam tata niaga pertanian
padi. Islamic Corporate Social Responsibility (I-CSR) yang dikelola berdasarkan
prinsip ekonomi Syariah dari perusahan yang beroperasi di wilayah Tuban bisa
menjadi solusi dana yang dikembangkan untuk pembiayaan pertanian yang
dihindari oleh perbankan karena siklus bisnis yang berbeda. Keberlangsungan 

kontrak salam pertanian untuk komoditas padi akan bergantung pada koperasi
petani yang terdiri dari koperasi simpan pinjam Syariah (BMT), gudang padi,
penggilingan padi dan unit perdagangan yang kesemuanya disebut sebagai KUB
(Kelompok Usaha Bersama). Dukungan yang kuat juga berasal dari Lembaga
zakat, infāq dan shodaqoh, yang memiliki peran untuk melakukan pelatihan
keahlian petani dan membantu memenuhi kebutuhan dasar petani yang menjadi
anggota dalam KUB.
