Best Answer

The Inca traded squash, sweet potatoes, and fruits like pineapples and papaya.

The lower valleys provided sweet potatoes, maize, manioc, squash, beans, chili peppers, peanuts, and cotton.

The hills above produced white potatoes, a cereal grain called Quinta, coca, medicine, feathers, and animal skins.

The highlanders specialized in manufacture and crafts, including gold working.

Gold was their favorite thing to trade.Also the Inca did not when they not trade but when they did they traded within their community

The Inca traded with nearby tribes, and with the settlers. They went as far north as the United States and as far south as Chile in South America. They did not trade with money, and they were not literate.

Incas did not barter. The government collected goods and distributed them throughout mita, the labor tax system. Basically, there were virtually no markets and the government controlled the economy.
