Exports of Colombian emeralds around the world
Colombian emerald exports have been very important for the country's economy for many years. In 2020, despite the difficulties caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, emerald exports reached a total value of USD 102.7 million, a decrease of 17.4% compared to 2019.
Exports of Colombian emeralds reached 129 million dollars in 2021, a figure that exceeds the best projections made by the connoisseurs of the sector and that more than triples the value of exports seen the previous year.
The 2021 figure is the highest seen since 2018, when exports totaled 142 million dollars, and the fifth highest annual figure seen in the last ten years. The best year over the last decade was 2015, when Colombian emerald exports exceeded $160 million (all USD figures).
The main destinations for Colombian emerald exports are the United States, Hong Kong, Switzerland and the Netherlands. However, demand for emeralds has decreased in recent years due to competition from other precious stones and the decline in consumer purchasing power due to the pandemic.
Despite this, Colombian emeralds are still highly valued around the world for their quality and beauty. In addition, the Colombian government has taken steps to promote and protect the emerald mining industry, which has helped maintain the quality and authenticity of Colombian emeralds.
