Visiting the largest diamond production and processing sales in Africa

This is the location of the world-famous super-large gem-quality diamond deposit in the November 2015 Zhuhuaneng diamond mining base. Thanks to its unique ore resources, Botswana has become the world's largest diamond exporter and one of the wealthiest countries in Africa.

However, the excessive reliance on diamonds has made this southern African inland economy heavily dependent on external markets, and the Botswana government is also working on economic diversification.

In the middle of last month, the second largest diamond in history was just mined from Botswana. The diamond weighed 1111 carats and was valued at around 300 million yuan. The picture shows the mine car shuttled at the Zhuwaeng diamond mining base.
