Peran Pemerintah dalam Pengawasan Harga Pangan Perspektif Ekonomi Islam

This paper explores the critical role of government in maintaining fair and stable food prices, particularly from the perspective of Islamic economics. Fluctuations in food prices can significantly affect both low-income communities and farmers. Therefore, the government is expected to act proactively by implementing policies such as subsidies, setting fair price benchmarks, and monitoring distribution to prevent harmful practices like hoarding. In Islamic economics, justice is a core principle emphasizing honest and transparent transactions while strictly prohibiting exploitative practices such as usury and speculation. This study discusses how Islamic principles, including zakat and equitable distribution, can be integrated into food policies to build a more just and sustainable system. The findings suggest that governments should strengthen market oversight, improve public education, and develop community-based social programs to ensure fair access to food for all segments of society
