Botswana Rough Diamonds — Verified Supply to UAE and India Cutting and Polishing Hubs

Requirement

Botswana is the world's second-largest diamond producer by value, with Debswana — the De Beers/Botswana government joint venture — mining approximately 18-20 million carats annually worth $3-4 billion at the minesite. Dubai has established itself as the world's fastest-growing diamond trading hub, with the Dubai Multi Commodities Centre processing over $26 billion in diamond trade annually, displacing Antwerp for certain stone categories. India's Surat cutting and polishing industry processes approximately 90% of the world's cut diamonds by volume, making it the essential manufacturing step between rough production and jewellery retail. This commodity trading opportunity structures verified rough diamond supply arrangements between Botswana Diamonds Board-authorised exporters or sightholders and verified rough diamond buyers at Dubai DMCC, Indian import licence holders in Surat, or Antwerp and Tel Aviv diamond bourses. Contract terms: sight-based allocation for sightholders (minimum 5 sights per year); tender participation for non-sightholders (minimum $500K per tender participation). Annual transaction value $5M-$40M depending on allocation size and stone quality mix. The Kimberley Process Certification Scheme is mandatory for all rough diamond trade — every shipment under AfroSynergy's framework includes a Kimberley Process certificate issued by the Botswana Diamond Hub, ensuring both regulatory compliance and the provenance documentation that premium retailers in the US, Japan, and Europe require for consumer certification programmes. AfroSynergy structures this through the Commodity Trading template. Botswana Diamond Hub export authorisation, Kimberley Process certificates, sight allocation documentation, and DMCC or Indian import licences reviewed in the deal room.
