<![CDATA[This study aims to analyze the practice of wholesale avocado trading in Jorong Ladang Lungguak Batu, Nagari Pakan Sinayan, Banuhampu District, Agam Regency, from the perspective of Islamic legal sociology.

The findings reveal that the wholesale avocado trading practice is conducted orally without written agreements and relies heavily on mutual trust between sellers and buyers. Buyers tend to have greater dominance in determining prices and harvest times, while tree owners hold weaker bargaining positions.
