Both resources were vital components of the Trans-Saharan trade, stretching back to the time of the Roman Empire. From the 1960s to the 1990s state owned mining—especially for gold—expanded, followed by a period of expansion by international contract mining. In 1991, following the lead of the International Development Association, Mali relaxed the enforcement of mining codes which led to greater foreign investment in the mining industry.
Diminished harvests during bad years, a growing population, changing dietary habits, and, most importantly, policy constraints on agricultural production resulted in grain deficits almost every year from 1965 to 1986. Production has rebounded since 1987 due to agricultural policy reforms undertaken by the government and supported by the Western donor nations.
The most productive agricultural area lies along the banks of the Niger River, the Inner Niger Delta and the southwestern region around Sikasso. ==Macro-economic trend== This is a chart of trend of gross domestic product of Mali at market prices estimated by the International Monetary Fund with figures in millions of CFA Francs. Current GDP per capita of Mali registered a peak growth of 295% in the 1970s.
Approximately 40% of Mali's herds were lost during the great drought in 1972–74.
But this proved unsustainable and growth consequently scaled back to just 5.20% in the 1980s, followed by growth of 24% in the 1990s. The mean wage was equivalent to $0.65 per hour in 2009.
Due to drought and diversion of river water for agriculture, fish production has steadily declined since the early 1980s. == Mining & resources == Mining has long been an important aspect of the Malian economy.
Gold mining in Mali has increased dramatically, with more than 50 tonnes in 2007 from less than half a tonne produced annually at the end of the 1980s.
The level was gradually restored, but the herds were again decimated in the 1983–85 drought.

Government revenues from mining contracts, less than 1% of the state income in 1989 were almost 18% in 2007. Mali is also endowed with renewable energy resources.

Manufacturing, consisting principally of processed agricultural products, accounted for about 8% of the GDP in 1990. == Economic Reform == Between 1992 and 1995, Mali implemented an economic adjustment program that resulted in economic growth and a reduction in financial imbalances.
Before 1991, the former Soviet Union, China and the Warsaw Pact countries had been a major source of economic and military aid. The per capita gross domestic product (GDP) of Mali was $820 in 1999.

Before 1991, the former Soviet Union had been a major source of economic and military aid, including construction of a cement plant and the Kalana gold mine. Currently, aid from Russia is restricted mainly to training and provision of spare parts.

This area is most important for the production of cotton, rice, pearl millet, maize, vegetables, tobacco and tree crops. Annual rainfall, critical for Mali's agriculture, has been at or above average since 1993.
From 1994 to 2007, national and foreign companies were granted around 150 operating licences along with more than 25 certificates for exploitation and more than 200 research permits.
Mining revenue totaled some 300 billion CFA francs in 2007 more than a thirty times increase from the 1995 total national mining revenue of less than 10 billion CFA.

Cereal production, including rice, has grown annually, and the 1997–98 cotton harvest reached a record 500,000 tons. Until the mid-1960s, Mali was self-sufficient in grains — pearl millet, sorghum, rice and maize.
The Chinese are major participants in the textile industry and in large scale construction projects, including a bridge across the Niger, a conference center, an expressway in Bamako, and a new national stadium scheduled to be completed for the Africa Cup competition in 2002. In 1998, U.S.

The emergence of gold as Mali's leading export product since 1999 has helped mitigate some of the negative impacts caused by fluctuations in world cotton markets and loss of trade from the Ivorian Civil War to the south.
The emergence of gold as Mali's leading export product since 1999 has helped mitigate some of the negative impact of the cotton and Ivory Coast crises. The development of the oil industry is important due to the country's dependence on the importation of all petroleum products from neighbouring states.
This was reflected in the increased GDP growth rates (9.6% in 2002) and decreased inflation.
GDP in 2002 amounted to US$3.2 billion, made up of agriculture 37.8%, industry 26.4% and services 35.9%. Effective implementation of macroeconomic stabilization and economic liberalization policies and the stable political situation resulted in good economic performance and enabled Mali to strengthen the foundations for a market-oriented economy and encourage private sector development, backed up by significant progress in implementing the country's privatization program.

Since 2009, Brazilian cooperation in Mali has raised the quality of the cotton fields and their productivity.
Peanuts are grown throughout the country but are concentrated in the area around Kita, west of Bamako. === Livestock === In 2019, Mali produced 276 million liters of cow's milk, 270 million liters of camel milk, 243 million liters of goat milk, 176 million liters of sheep's milk, 187 thousand tons of beef, 64 thousand tons of lamb meat, 54 thousand tons of chicken meat, among others. Mali's resource in livestock consists of millions of cattle, sheep, and goats.
11 out of 156 nations in the index of geopolitical gains and losses after energy transition (GeGaLo Index). ===Gold=== In 2019, the country was the 16th largest world producer of gold.
Brazilian aide has also started since 2019 in cattle raising and the recovery of eroded soils for agriculture.
