This research is a type of library research using qualitative methods. While the data analysis technique used is descriptive qualitative. The primary data of this research are books, journals, essays, and news about the core issue, namely Ibn Khaldun’s view on agriculture which is then related to conditions in the era of the Covid-19 outbreak. The results show that Ibn Khaldun’s thoughts on the agricultural economy and the state’s role in serving the community are still very relevant during the Covid-19 pandemic. Agriculture, according to Ibn Khaldun, is the source of life. During the Covid-19 pandemic, the agricultural sector has been unaffected.
