I'm trying to develop a basic timeline that involves Mali/West Africa becoming much more developed than it did in OTL, and as part of it I'm hoping to have Mali discover the Americas, which I'm hoping will be a large boon to their economy, but there's one issue I'm not entirely sure about - crops.
So, how easy would it be for American crops, like maize and potatoes, to spread to West Africa? I'm mainly concerned with the obstacles posed by the climate, soil types, etc., rather than political or social ones, so assume the West Africans are able and willing to plant and harvest these crops en masse, provided they'll grow.
Thanks in advance!
