This article is about economy of the Ashanti Empire. For the economy of the modern Ashanti Region, see Economy of Ashanti.
The Economy of the Ashanti Empire was largely a pre-industrial and agrarian economy.[1] The Ashanti established different procedures for mobilizing state revenue and utilizing public finance. Ashanti trade extended upon two main trade routes; one at the North and the other at the South. The Northern trade route was dominated by the trade in Kola nuts and at the South, the Ashanti engaged in the Atlantic Slave Trade. A variety of economic industries such as cloth-weaving and metal working industries existed. The Ashanti originally farmed in subsistence until agriculture became extensive during the 19th century.
