ABSTRACT
Cash waqf is one of the essential social-based Islamic financial instruments to be developed since it is easily used according to the existing community's needs, such as for micro-business capital for farmers. Most working as farmers are middle- to lower-class people who depend on their livelihoods from harvests. The Covid-19 pandemic that has hit Indonesia and the world has left many families experiencing financial shortages, including farming families. The Micro Business Capital Waqf program has been implemented in Lamongan. However, this program still encountered several problems that made the program not optimally conducted and could not be implemented in the broader community. This study aims to analyze the priority problems and solutions to optimize the role of micro-business capital waqf for farmers in Lamongan. This type of research was a mixed method using the Analytic Network Process (ANP) approach. Data were obtained from in-depth interviews with seven waqf and agriculture experts. The priority problem in Nazhir was related to the lack of budget for administrative services, while the priority solution was increasing the funding for administrative services. The research results can be used by the Indonesian Waqf Board (BWI) and the Department of Food Crops, Horticulture, and Plantations to develop waqf in agriculture.
