Agriculture sector has positive trends during covid19 outbreak in Indonesia. Despite its potential benefits, the application of Islamic finance products is limited. This research aims to propose a green Islamic financial model in supporting agriculture sector. Library research and benchmark analysis are used to reveal the appropriate model. In the first step, the issues on agricultural sector financing will be overviewed. The second step will discuss relevant theories to be adopted into the framework. The last part will propose the appropriate Islamic financial model. This research is limited to financing the crop sector of agriculture in Indonesia. This study finds that agricultural sector financing needs are very diverse, such as murabaha for the purchase of seeds or agricultural equipment, salam for sustainable farming, and istishna’ for land acquisition. The Islamic green financial model serves as guidance in synergizing strategy from various Islamic financial platforms to fulfill the needs of the agricultural sector and provides valuable analysis that combines classical theories and contemporary issues to draw the attention of Islamic financial practitioners to the fact that the needs of agriculture financial problems do not depend on single contract but needs to diversify the contract based on business process.
