The DRC’s diamond sector is undergoing steady modernization, driven by cooperative formalization, improved surveying and a government push toward greater transparency. Despite volatility in global diamond markets, demand for natural stones of African origin remains resilient, particularly in specialty markets and among traders seeking alternatives to synthetic stones.

Producers in key alluvial regions have adopted more consistent grading and export procedures, making the sector increasingly accessible to international clients. ComiCordia leverages partnerships with licensed cooperatives to source stones through regulated channels, ensuring quality control and compliance with export standards.

As the sector evolves, market participants view the DRC as a re-emerging source of high-value rough diamonds with significant long-term potential.
