The study population consisted of 100 farmers in Kedungadem District. The data analysis method used is Smart-PLS (Partial Least Square). The results of the study according to direct testing show that farmers' interest in using BMT services is significantly influenced by factors such as product knowledge, Islamic branding, and preferences.
