Farmers’ Intention to Pay Zakat (Determinants of Agricultural Zakat in the Special Region of Yogyakarta)

DI Yogyakarta is one of the provinces with an agricultural sector that contributes to the GRDP of the province. This is certainly in line with the potential for agricultural zakat, which is quite large. However, on the other hand, DI Yogyakarta is one of the provinces with problems related to poverty and the Gini ratio index, which is quite unequal. One of the reasons this problem later arose was that the potential for zakat was not fully realized. This study aims to determine the effect of religiosity, knowledge, income, environment, and belief on farmers’ intention to pay agricultural zakat. This research is quantitative research with a survey technique. This study sample was Muslim farmers living in the Special Region of Yogyakarta. The sampling technique used was purposive sampling with a total sample of 60 samples. The data analysis technique used is Structural Equation Modeling and Partial Least Square (SEM-PLS) with analysis tools using Smart-PLS 3.0. The results of this study indicate that religiosity, income, and environment significantly positively affect farmers’ intention to pay agricultural zakat. At the same time, knowledge and trust do not affect farmers’ intention to pay agricultural zakat.
