A farmer who decides to concentrate on viable products can choose from four general types of plants: edible, ornamental, raw-material, or shade. Edible plants include grains like rice and corn, fruits like santol and mango, vegetables such as pechay or cabbage, or spices like pepper. On the other hand, ornamentals are all kinds of flowering and non flowering plants used for decoration and landscaping. There are also plants that provide raw materials for other products. Examples of these types are rubber, palm, abaca, maguey, and ramie. The coconut may also belong to this type although the fruit is edible.
