This study aims to analyze the transaction patterns of hybrid coconut trading and its implications for transactional justice from the perspective of Islamic Business Ethics in Nipah Panjang II Village. Utilizing a descriptive qualitative approach based on field research, primary data were gathered from seven key informants, comprising five hybrid coconut farmers and two middlemen/buyers. The findings reveal that the executed trading practices do not fully align with the fundamental principles of Islamic Business Ethics. Non-compliance is reflected in violations of unity, equability ('adl), responsibility, and truthfulness/honesty.
