<![CDATA[This study discusses the application of Islamic business ethics to middleman behavior in buying and selling vegetables with farmers in Kebun Tebeng Village, Ratu Agung District, Bengkulu City. This research aims to find out the behavior of middlemen, the form of transparency in transactions, and a review of Islamic business ethics on these practices. The method used is field research with a descriptive qualitative approach. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation with 8 informants consisting of 4 middlemen and 4 vegetable farmers who were selected purposively. The results of the study show that the practice of buying and selling between middlemen and vegetable farmers in general has reflected the values of honesty, justice, transparency, and responsibility, although there are still some shortcomings in its implementation. Middlemen are considered to help farmers in marketing their crops, while farmers also feel benefits in the form of ease of distribution and certainty of sales. However, there are still obstacles such as late payments and price adjustments that depend on market conditions. This research contributes to enriching the study of Islamic business ethics, especially on the economic relationship between middlemen and vegetable farmers. The results of the study emphasized the importance of applying Islamic business ethics principles so that transactions take place fairly, transparently, and mutually beneficial.]]>
