Top Diamond-Producing Countries
Key Findings
About This Dataset
Top Diamond-Producing CountriesRussia (37.32M carats) and Botswana (28.18M) dominate, together accounting for the majority of global output and each producing more than twice the next country. Below them, Angola (14.03M) and Canada (13.32M) form a close second tier - Canada the only non-African, non-Russian producer near the top. A steady decline then runs through DR Congo (9.79M), South Africa (5.34M) and Zimbabwe (5.29M) before falling steeply to Namibia (2.32M) and the sub-million outputs of Lesotho and Sierra Leone. The ranking underlines how concentrated diamond mining is: two countries lead overwhelmingly by volume, while southern and central Africa supply almost all the rest.
