Dyula merchants established the settlement in the early 1200s as a hub for gathering slaves and kola nuts. Nowadays, it serves as the primary commercial hub for rice, livestock, tobacco, coffee, palm oil, and palm kernels. Beyla is the main town serving the Simandou iron ore project. The mine is operated by a British-Australian mining corporation Rio Tinto. Its presence in Beyla has lasted approximately 17 years. Rio Tinto has also invested about $700 million USD towards the Guinean government for the purpose of exploring and likely prospecting of the mountain.
