Export value of gemstones from Mozambique 2016-2020
Mozambique exported rubies, sapphires, and emeralds worth 12 million U.S. dollars in 2020. The export value of these gemstones sharply decreased from some 122 million U.S. dollars in the previous year. According to the source, mining activity in the country slowed down due to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, which caused the contraction in gemstones export value.
