civil fruits

Civil fruits, on the other hand, are acquired by the usufructuary as soon as they become due.

Kerr defines benefit as "any natural or civil fruits and other similar advantages, gains or profits."

The usufructuary's rights include possession, administration, use and enjoyment of the property, as well as its natural and civil fruits.

Natural fruits include all natural products of the thing, including anything extracted from it (crops from land sold, for example), while civil fruits refer to any pecuniary advantage which accrues to the thing (for example, interest and rents).
