    Although traditional agricultural practices were and are still probably the most important economic activity of Mali, they are not able to produce on a large scale to be able to export.

    On the other hand, gold is something that most foreign companies and governments want, so the rulers of Mali engaged in gold trade. Since writing was not common in local communities in Mali, a lot of the records and history of Mali was done by foreigners and their main interest was gold.
