Which of the following were traded lucratively by the Portuguese in West Africa?

Question

tobacco

slaves

potatoes

corn

Answer 1

The Portuguese traded slaves lucratively in West Africa. During the transatlantic slave trade, they were heavily involved in the capture and transportation of enslaved people from the African continent to the Americas. While tobacco, potatoes, and corn were important crops in other contexts, they were not the primary commodities traded by the Portuguese in West Africa.
