This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of the orchid farmer empowerment program through productive zakat at Mandiri Amal Insani (MAI) East Java Representative Office and examine the partnership model supporting program sustainability. This research employed a qualitative approach using a field research design conducted in Gunungrejo Village, Singosari District, Malang Regency. Data were collected through interviews, observations, and documentation involving program administrators, business partners, field facilitators, and beneficiary farmers, and were analyzed using the Miles and Huberman interactive model. The findings indicate that the program was effective in improving farmers' income, sustaining orchid cultivation businesses, strengthening technical skills, and fostering the economic independence of mustahik. Program effectiveness was supported by a tripartite partnership model involving MAI, PT Java Indo Arguna (JAVINA), and farmers, integrating production support, technical assistance, and market guarantees through a plasma system. This study confirms that partnership-based productive zakat is more effective than capital assistance alone, as it strengthens the sustainability of mustahik businesses.
