Abstract: CAHAYON, ELOISA DE JESUS. Cavite State University, Indang, Cavite. March 2000. "Resource Productivity Estimates For Coffee Farms In Selected Towns of Cavite". Adviser: Dr. Nelia C. Cresino. This study was conducted primarily to evaluate the resource productivity estimates of coffee in Cavite. Specifically, the study aimed to: describe the socio-economic characteristics of coffee farmers; describe the general characteristics of their farms; assess the efficiency of the inputs used in the production of coffee; compare the level of resource use and productivity in small and large farms; and identify problems encountered by coffee farmers. Small farms constituted 62 percent of all farms and had an average of 1.30 hectares. Large farms had an average of 3.33 hectares. Most of the farmers operate relatively small farms. The average rate of input utilization was directly related to farm size on both per farm and per hectare basis. Small farms used less input than large farms; thus, the average for all farms was also small compared to large farms. Large farms produced higher yield than small farms, both in per hectare and per farm basis. Significant difference on the level of man-labor and fertilizer utilized per hectare for small and large farms was revealed. Production function estimates showed that the variable inputs such as man-labor and fertilizer significantly affect yield of the farms in different farm groups. However, fertilizer was found out to be not significant at five level in the case of small farms. Coffee farming in Cavite showed increasing returns to scale for all farm groups.

This study was conducted primarily to evaluate the resource productivity estimates of coffee in Cavite. Specifically, the study aimed to: describe the socio-economic characteristics of coffee farmers; describe the general characteristics of their farms; assess the efficiency of the inputs used in the production of coffee; compare the level of resource use and productivity in small and large farms; and identify problems encountered by coffee farmers.

Small farms constituted 62 percent of all farms and had an average of 1.30 hectares. Large farms had an average of 3.33 hectares. Most of the farmers operate relatively small farms.

The average rate of input utilization was directly related to farm size on both per farm and per hectare basis. Small farms used less input than large farms; thus, the average for all farms was also small compared to large farms.

Large farms produced higher yield than small farms, both in per hectare and per farm basis. Significant difference on the level of man-labor and fertilizer utilized per hectare for small and large farms was revealed.

Production function estimates showed that the variable inputs such as man-labor and fertilizer significantly affect yield of the farms in different farm groups.

However, fertilizer was found out to be not significant at five level in the case of small farms.

Coffee farming in Cavite showed increasing returns to scale for all farm groups.
