Top 5 Diamond Producing Countries in the World

3. Canada

Average Annual Diamond Production: 17.8 million carats 

Canada’s diamond production exemplifies modern, responsible mining. In the sub-arctic regions where operations such as Diavik and Ekati are located, environmental responsibility and agreements with Indigenous communities are integral to the industry. These ensure that the extraction of high-value stones adheres to the highest ethical standards. According to the Kimberley Process, Canada’s annual diamond exports average $1.5 billion, and the country is also a significant diamond importer due to domestic consumption demands.
