Demand for natural, untreated stones is supporting renewed interest in the DRC’s diamond market. Key producing zones are increasingly aligned with regulated cooperative structures, allowing for quicker sorting, grading and documentation.

Export authorities report improved paperwork processing times, while trading houses note fairer pricing emerging from more standardized valuation practices. For buyers seeking direct African supply, these improvements translate into more consistent procurement cycles.

COMICORDIA works with compliant cooperatives to source and export stones under verifiable conditions, offering international clients a transparent route to Congolese rough diamonds.
