Diamond sales show recovery in H1

President Duma Boko and Minerals and Energy minister, Bogolo Kenewendo, headlined a high-profile event under the House of Botswana banner in New York last week, as part of continuing efforts to support a rebound in the precious stones.

“We are beginning to see what is possible when Botswana’s diamonds are marketed with conviction, and their story is told to the world,” Kenewendo said in a brief statement. “Our work is not yet done. “We must market natural diamonds aggressively, tell the Botswana story more boldly, and make sure consumers understand the people, places and purpose behind every stone. Visibility alone is not the finish line. “It must translate into sustained demand and greater value for Batswana.”
