The knowledge on pre-growing rice production included rice culture, botanic characteristics, varieties selection, seed source, as well as time span of rice-growing, rice plot management, diseases and prevention. During harvesting period, rice farmers must gain knowledge about the process resulting to increase rice value, rice processing, and marketing channels. Findings showed that the body of knowledge on rice production must be consistent with both rice-growing process and farmer’s way of lifeFrom the knowledge gained in the training, rice farmers must apply for growing method which appropriated to the area’s condition and geo-social aspect of the community. The assessment of knowledge found that the participants had increased knowledge after the training with a statistical significance level at 0.01. As a whole, It was found that the sample group improved their professional rice production at a high level. Based on it’s the following were found at highest level: increase the professional rice farmer networks; efficialcy in increased yields; and rice production cost production and production management. Overall, the participants had a high level of satisfaction with the training program. The benefits of basic rice-growing training program and smart rice farmer program were found at a high level.
