The main objective of this study is to determine and analyze the lack of public understanding of the obligation to pay zakat on agricultural products in Wanakarta Village. This study uses a descriptive, qualitative, or field research design. Ten rice farmers in Wanakarta Village participated in this study as informants who met the requirements to provide information and accurately reflect the research objectives. Data collection was carried out through mixed methods, including in-depth interviews, field observations, and secondary data analysis from reports from zakat institutions and related institutions. Respondents were rice farmers, village officials, and mosque imams who resided in Wanakarta Village. After data collection, data validity was carried out through triangulation methods in interpreting and verifying data from various sources using different approaches and times, both source triangulation. The results of the study found: 1) The potential for agricultural zakat in Wanakarta Village, Lolongguba District, Buru Regency is evidenced by the area of rice fields, the amount of production and harvest, and the level of farmer income. 2) The community does not yet understand zakat from rice farming, which has implications for zakat payments. Lack of outreach by religious institutions, the Zakat Collection Agency (Baznas), and knowledge about zakat are contributing factors. This study recommends synergy between local government institutions, the Indonesian Ulema Council (MUI), the National Zakat Collection Agency (Baznas), Zakat Collection Institutions, and other religious institutions to collectively and intensively educate farming communities about the obligation to pay zakat on rice harvests, including the procedures for calculating it. This will maximize the potential of agricultural zakat, contribute to poverty alleviation, and address socio-economic inequality.
