Around 90% of Angolan diamonds are now traceable 

In the City of Dundo, by the Director of Studies and Projects of Endiama EP, Ady Van-Dúnem, on the sidelines of the second day of the 2025 Semi annual Diamond Balance, which takes place at the Lueji A'nkonde University Campus. 

According to Van-Dúnem, this is a key innovation, as consumers demand more information about the positive impact on communities, as well as the origin of the diamonds they purchase. Therefore, the implementation of traceability processes in the national diamond subsector has allowed for greater openness and transparency in the Angolan diamond industry.

For the person in charge, the focus on innovation has as its central objectives the leveraging of productivity levels and the reduction of operating costs, the latter of capital importance, in a context such as the current one, in which prices are slowing down.  

Ady Van-Dúnem also highlighted Sociedade Mineira do Luele's investments in innovation, mentioning the modernity of its treatment plant, which is one of the most modern on the African continent.
