By Jeff Miller Posted: 7/19/2006 found at diamonds.net
(Rapaport...July 19, 2006) Trade between the continent of Africa and the United State grew 37 percent in 2005 to $61 billion with imports to the United States accounting for the bulk at $50.3 billion.
Diamonds accounted for $1.5 billion of the imports and oil accounted for more than $40 billion, according to the International Monetary Fund
(IMF.)
More than 82 percent of sub-Sahara exports to the United States came from four countries which were Nigeria (48 percent - mostly oil,) Angola (17 percent,) and South Africa (12 percent.)
The following list shows major diamond supplier countries to the United States from Africa. The Commerce Department total ($1.115 billion) for 2005 is lower than the IMF and does not reflect fluctuations in currency:
Angola $58 million
Botswana $132 million
Central Africa Republic $4.4 million
Congo $2.3 million
Democratic Republic of the Congo $117 million
