This figure, according to the report, comes “on the back of a 42% increase in total rough diamond sales and the gem diamonds price index gaining 13%.” Net profit for the year was RUB 91.3 billion ($840 million) – “up almost three times over 2020.” 

 

Alrosa sold  30.4 million carats of rough in 2021 – up 28% year-on-year “as global demand outstripped demand.”
