try this

<?php
$type = 'products'; // your post type
$args=array(
  'post_type' => $type,
  'post_status' => 'publish',
  'posts_per_page' => -1,
  'caller_get_posts'=> 1

$my_query = null;
$my_query = new WP_Query($args);
if( $my_query->have_posts() ) {
  while ($my_query->have_posts()) : $my_query->the_post(); ?>
    <option><?=the_title(); ?></option>
    <?php
  endwhile;
}
wp_reset_query();  // Restore global post data stomped by the_post().
?>
