In the field of agriculture, huge quantities of waste are generated from different crops. The waste so generated isgenerally left untouched on the land which affects the fertility of soil or if the waste is burnt, it affects the environment. Thiswaste contains large quantities of fiber which can be utilized in concrete to reduce the amount of waste and indirectly thecost of concrete.This paper reports review on different types of natural fibers such as industrial hemp, palm, coconut, san and banana leavesfibers that can be utilized in concrete and effect of such fibers on properties of concrete containing fibers. Such materialswould increase the service life and reduce the life cost of the structure and would have appositive effect on social life andsocial economy
