Diamonds are among the most coveted and valuable natural resources globally, and while the average national diamond production value is just over $218 million, the top five producers far exceed this, highlighting an obvious concentration of economic benefit.

According to the Kimberley Process, a global certification scheme established to prevent the trade of conflict diamonds, over 99% of the world’s rough diamond production now flows through conflict-free, regulated supply chains.

The latest production data reflects the economic scale and significance of these resources to the top-producing nations.
