*Botswana Rough Diamond Exports Plunge By 68% Due To The COVID-19 Pandemic* *Follow Pindula on WhatsApp for daily new updates* https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029Va84dngJP21B2nWeyM3v?wx Botswana Diamond sales have been greatly affected by the COVID-19 pandemic that has seen sales volume dropping by two thirds, Reuters reports. This according to the publication was caused by low demand which was also exacerbated by travel restrictions which grounded many operations. Statistics published by the publication show a worrisome trend as Bostwana’s borders remain closed since March 2020 as a COVID-19 containment measure. Reuters reported that: ---------- *HOT DEALS:* *itel A70 - (128GB, 3GB RAM) $89,* *itel A70 - (256GB, 4GB RAM) $99* *itel P40 (128GB, 4GB), (6000mAh) $99* *itel P40 (64GB, 4G), (6000mAh) $93* Cash on Delivery in Harare & Bulawayo.

Diamonds exports reportedly constitute 70% of the Southern African nation and if restrictions stay in place for long, Botswana’s balance of payment deficit might suffer a huge blow.
