De Beers reports 14% decrease in Namibia’s diamond production De Beers Group says Namibia’s diamond production dropped by 14% in the third quarter of 2024, with total output reaching 0.5 million carats. De Beers attributed this decline to a strategic decision to reduce production at Debmarine Namibia to better align with current market conditions. Namdeb, on the other hand, offset some of this decline with improved recoveries and higher-grade mining.
