The local Diamond Production Index declined by 23.9 percent in November 2025, following a growth of 25.2 percent witnessed in the preceding month.

During the review period, a total of 121, 211 carats of diamonds were produced, a decline from 159,353 and 190, 541 carats produced in October 2025 and November 2024, respectively.
The index is tracked by the Namibia Statistics Agency (NSA).
Diamonds dominated not only Namibian exports, but also contributed the most to treasury revenue. With the recent decline, gold and uranium have been dominating exports, as the country’s reliance on raw material trade continues.
