Villagers traded any surplus. Gold was plentiful in present-day Ghana, Nigeria, and Senegal. In return West Africans had salt. People need salt to prevent dehydration and there was a heavy abundance of salt in some places. However in places like the savanna, salt was scarce. A block of salt was easily worth its weight in gold.
Africa was transformed due to the trade. Because of it, Timbuktu was founded and established, the spread of Islam became greater, three medieval kingdoms arose, internal trade also arose, and lastly, the northern and southern areas of the Sahara became significant for different things. Above the Sahara were gold, ivory, koala nuts, and below the Sahara was black gold (male slaves).
Resources in West Africa during the colonial, post-colonial, even modern period determined the overall makeup of transportation infrastructure layout. Most of the time roads and rail connected factories or mines deeper in the continent with distribution ports on the coasts.

The Saharan slave trade to the Islamic world carried mostly women for sexual and domestic employment. The Atlantic trade concentrated on young men fit for hard labor in the Americas. African societies who sold slaves might keep women and children for their own uses. All three had a demographic effect on the region. However, the Atlantic trade had the most significant demographic effect on parts of western and central Africa; the population there in 1850 might have been one-half of what it would have been without the trade. The women and children not exported skewed the balance of the sexes in African-enslaving societies.
