The Asante Kingdom maintained its power by establishing monopolies over key trade goods, particularly gold and kola nuts, which were vital to their economy. By controlling the production and trade of these resources, the Asante could generate significant wealth and influence, allowing them to finance their military and administrative structures. This economic strength also enabled them to exert control over neighboring states and maintain a strong centralized authority. Additionally, the Asante leveraged their monopolies to negotiate favorable trade terms with European powers, further consolidating their dominance in the region.
