TAGS presented 87,000 carats from SA & Angola Next tender during 24th February – 1st March 2021 January saw the DDE host 4 rough diamond tenders in addition to Alrosa and De Beers presenting goods to their contractual buyers. As a result and following strong seasonal sales into the American and Chinese markets, representatives from over 400 Indian based companies made the short journey to Dubai to purchase rough.   TAGS presented 87,000 carats of their regular productions from Southern Africa and Angola, with a value close to $60m. Around 150 companies took appointments however several companies had to cancel due to positive Covid-19 results on arrival in UAE.  We extended the event by 2 days in response to the high level of demand for appointments and to allow sufficient time for analysis of the goods. Most of the visiting companies were from India as travel restrictions and quarantine regulations limited the numbers of regular attendees from other important centres.   In ad
