Any other mining or agricultural product. Remittances from people sent abroad. Textiles are the next step up, then injection molded plastic crap and similar.

It doesn't have to be fossil fuels, I'm not sure if any of the Asian tiger economies relied on that. It's been suggested having oil kind of stunts development, even.
