Silang, like most of the towns in the province of Cavite, depends on a
mainly agricultural economy. The primary crops grown in the area are coconut,
coffee, corn, banana, pineapple, and tree crops like mango, lansones, caimito,
santol, jackfruit, guava, and avocado. Fertile soils and abundant water sources
make Silang suitable not only for common commercial crops but also for high
value and exotic crops production. Most of the local farmers practice
intercropping to increase land productivity and lessen soil erosion. Fruit
production exceeds the demand of the municipality's population, thus, supply
excesses are marketed
