Trade impacted the development of West African Kingdoms in that West Africa had rich resources of gold and salt and West African rulers taxed all trade caravans crossing their territories.  

Trade contributed to the rise of kingdoms that used commerce to trade slaves, ivory, pepper, and salt with other nations. As many kingdoms were in the middle of the trade routes of salt and gold mines, the rulers taxed the crossing of goods through their territories. That money or resources fortified their kingdoms and generated more trade.
