Organic farming systems can be an alternative to environmentally friendly and sustainable farming. The environmental benefits obtained by implementing organic farming are that it is easier to cultivate the land and does not cause environmental pollution. The limited knowledge of farmers regarding organic rice and the ability of farmers causes them to use production facilities based on their abilities and habits. The aim of this study was to determine the level of SOP-GAP implementation and to analyze the factors that influence the implementation of SOP-GAP in organic rice farming. The research was conducted in Seyegan District, Sleman Regency, Special Region of Yogyakarta which was determined purposively. Farmer sampling was carried out using the Proportional Random Sampling method. Data analysis using Binary Logistic Regression. The results showed that the level of implementation of SOP-GAP organic rice farming was included in the appropriate category with a score of 2.91 or 72.75%. The highest level of implementation of SOP-GAP was at the cultivation stage, namely the treatment of seeds and nurseries Internal factors of farmer’s age, farming experience, land area, production costs, and farming income have no effect on the level of implementation of SOP-GAP organic rice farming.
