Abstract Organic farming is a combination of conventional agriculture developed with innovation and science, adopting the principles of health, ecology, justice, and protection of the environment. Semi-organic rice farming refers to the transition from conventional to organic rice farming. Semi-organic rice farming is riskier due to the soil’s unstable fertility. This research aimed to determine the production risk in semi-organic rice and analyze the factors affecting that risk. Since Sleman Regency, specifically Seyegan District, is home to a thriving organic rice, the study took place here. A total of 100 respondents were taken using proportional random sampling. The production risk of semi-organic rice was analyzed using the coefficient of variation. The factors influencing the production risk were examined using the Cobb-Douglas production function. The results revealed that semi-organic rice carried high production risk, with a coefficient of variation higher than 0.5. Land area and land status influenced the production risk of semi-organic rice. The wider the implementation of semi-organic rice farming, the greater the production risk. Semi-organic rice farming on own land possessed a smaller risk than non-owned land.
