Spanish term or phrase: benefician café en forma centralizada
Muchos productores de café no benefician café en forma centralizada de que manera se han beneficiado con el Proyecto, porque los mismos productores de café han traído café a la planta de beneficio húmedo. Por otra parte se han beneficiado transportistas que trasladaron café desde la zona de producción a la planta de beneficio húmedo.

"planta de beneficio" is a processing plant. I'm wondering if the first instance of "benefician" here means to sell or to process? Both options would fit the context. Is the meaning clear to anyone? Thanks a bunch...

Explanation:
There's a terrible error in the original. It should have read, "de manera QUE se han beneficiado con el Proyecto". Otherwise, no tiene ni pies ni cabeza...
