Top Diamond Producing Countries 2024

About This Dataset

Countries ranked by total rough diamond production in 2024, measured in millions of carats according to Kimberley Process Certification Scheme data. Russia is the world's largest diamond producer by volume, with the Siberian mines of ALROSA alone accounting for roughly 30% of global rough diamond output.

✨ AI Insight

Russia's position as the leading diamond producer is striking, with its output nearly double that of Botswana, the second-largest producer at 24 million carats. The gap between the top two and the subsequent producers, such as Canada (18 million carats) and the Democratic Republic of the Congo (16 million carats), underscores the concentration of diamond resources in a few key players. Notably, Australia, once a significant contributor, has seen a decline to 13 million carats, suggesting potential challenges in its diamond mining industry. The data indicates a stable production landscape, but the reliance on a few countries raises questions about future supply security and market dynamics.
