Localisations of industry

Worldwide there are two main headquarters of the diamond industry, apart from other minor and local centres.
Antwerp is the largest diamond trading centre and South Africa is the largest diamond producing country. Annually the World Diamond Conference takes place in Antwerp and diamond purchasers and distributors pour into the city to buy and sell diamonds.
Down to the present day the majority of diamond mines are localised in South Africa. One of the main reasons for this fact is, that De Beers, the biggest diamond company, has its headquarters in South Africa.
