Agricultural ideas were brought from the Bantu people of west-central Africa. Expansion went into the plains of the Sudan to exact tribute and acquire slaves. The Gambia River Valley helped to bring in wealth to the state of Sundiata with its uncommon fertility where rice and other crops thrived.
The spread of agriculture into the tropical forests even made a political impact on the country. The farmers came from Bantu to what is now South Africa and traveled to the where rich soil was in eastern Africa. Problems occurred with framing and invasions from other competitive hunting groups and it forced them to move continuously.
Religious beliefs held a great significance for the agricultural state as well. Subsidiary gods and spirits good and evil were held accountable for the welfare of the crops.
