This study was conducted for the purpose of up- dating and supplementing the existing data on the different activities involved in transforming dried coffee beans into green coffee stage. Specifically, it aimed to know the; 1) milling requirements; 2) technológical efficiency of coffee mills in Cavite; 3) relationship of net benefit to some selected variables; and 4) problems encountered by millers and the possible measures perceived by them. Three municipalities in Cavite were selected for this study. Fifteen millers constituted the sample. The average age of the miller-respondents was 46 years. Majority of them attained high school education. Millers reported an average household size of three members. Their average initial capital investment was P136,333.00. The millers required an average moisture content of 16.3 percent. Majority of them practiced shaking to determine the moisture content. They charged an average milling fee of 34.00 per cavan. The milling firms operated on an average of 26 days per month requiring six laborers on the average. The recovery rate per ton kilograms of dried coffee beans averaged at 5.83 for whole green coffee, 0.33 kilogram for broken green coffee and 3.84 kilograms for the pulp. The average net benefit of #717.20 was accumulated daily. In general, the benefit-cost ratio of the millers was 1.43. The milling cost per cavan amounted to 23.25 with a net benefit of 11.05 per cavan. The net benefit was affected directly by the amount of initial capital investment and the milling capacity. Educational attainment inversely affected the net benefits. On the other hand, age of the millers, number of dependents, number of years in milling, manage- rial status, milling rate, milling fee and type of machinery employed did not show significant relationships with the millers. The major problems encountered by the millers were waste disposal, lack of technical assistance, in- adequate training program, inappropriate decision-making pattern, high cost of inputs, in availability of coffee supply from the farmers, lack of financial assistance and high rate of interest, on loan.
