Abstract
Abstract The Go Organic policy has consequences for developing organic rice farming in the Ngawi Regency, East Java, Indonesia. Farmers often respond to this policy with various farm business transformations, depending on their knowledge management readiness. Therefore, this study aimed to determine the readiness level of organic rice farmers in applying knowledge management (KM) to accelerate Go Organic. The methods used were descriptive and analytical in nature and the respondents were 90 farmers from 14 selected districts with organic rice farming businesses. Data were collected through interviews with questionnaire guides, observations, and recordings, followed by analysis using descriptive statistics. The results showed an optimal KM readiness level of 81.4 % in the farmer group assessed from various aspects. However, the structure has the lowest assessment compared to the other aspects. This is related to the lack of rules or standard operating procedures regarding Good Agricultural Practices (GAP), Good Handling Practices (GHP), and irrigation management. Additionally, farmer groups can adapt and be flexible to the KM readiness requirements.
