• The diamond trade is responsible for 8% of Belgian
exports, and 12% of the Flemish region’s exports.
• 30.000 people are directly or indirectly employed by the Belgian diamond
sector.
The figures speak for themselves. Antwerp has created an international
commercial platform upon which producers, manufacturers and traders from all
over the world can meet.
Antwerp is the world’s diamond capital but there are other large centers such
as the Indian production hubs of Mumbai and Surat; Israel is a complementary
trade centre, mainly supplying North America. Dubai is the regional distribution
centre for the Middle East. New York is the primary port of entry into the
United States, and the largest market for diamonds in the world.
