The findings from the sector revealed inconsistency due to that this study is motivated to includes Islamic microfinance as a mediating variable on the relationship between the study variables.The study seeks to establish a relationship between agricultural antecedents and Agribusiness Performance. Also, to explore the mediating impact of Islamic microfinance on the relationship between agricultural antecedents and Agribusiness Performance in Jigawa state, Nigeria.The study used a quantitative approach with 320 questionnaires and analysed by Partial Least Square Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM) through Smart PLS software.The findings of the study indicated that there is a positive relationship between farm technical know-how, farmers’ cooperatives, and agribusiness performance. Similarly, Islamic microfinance was found to mediate the relationship between farm technical know-how, farmers’ cooperatives and agribusiness Performance.
