Although trading was originally centered on the gold that was readily available in the area, the focus shifted to the lucrative slave trade in the 17th century. The area later became known for growing cocoa, the source of cocoa beans. Introduced there in the late 19th century, cocoa continues to provide an important export for Ghana.
