Angola's Diamond Sector Expands With 10.7 Mln Carats Produced in Nine Months of 2025
The country became the third-largest producer of rough diamonds by output in 2024 with a record of 14 million carats, trailing only Russia and Botswana, a Western news agency reported, citing Secretary of State for Mineral Resources Jánio Correa Victor.
The production increased by 23.2% in the first half of the year, he noted. However, the official did not disclose the data for the corresponding period of 2024.
Victor said the value of Angola's rough diamond exports had fallen 14% during the nine months, despite doubling export volumes, due to the collapse in prices for the precious stones.
