THE government is optimistic about reaching its 2025 diamond production target of 10 million carats, contingent on securing the necessary capital for the Zimbabwe Consolidated Diamond Company (ZCDC).
The ZCDC is targeting diamond output of 5,7 million carats this year, with production driven by increased efficiency and expansion efforts.
“The 2025 target, as I mentioned earlier, currently stands at approximately six million carats annually. With the guidance of the country’s leadership, we have set a new goal of 10 million carats,” said Mines ministry permanent secretary, Pfungwa Kunaka.
