According to Sodiam, Angola’s state-owned diamond marketing and sales body, the country exported 23,300 carats of polished diamonds during the year, marking a 127% increase over 2024. Export revenues also rose sharply, climbing 107% to $109.7 million.

However, the average price per carat declined by 9% to $4,706, reflecting challenging global conditions driven by rising demand for synthetic diamonds and an oversupply of natural polished stones.
