HOW WE SELL

At Okavango Diamond Company, we offer a structured and transparent approach to the sale of our rough diamonds through three distinct channels, designed to meet the diverse needs of both local and international buyers.

Our Spot Auctions provide a globally accessible, market-driven platform where registered customers participate in competitive online bidding following in-person viewings at our offices in Gaborone. These auctions are conducted ten times a year and form the backbone of ODC’s open market sales strategy.

Our Citizen Tenders are exclusive to fully registered, citizen-owned companies in Botswana. These closed tenders are designed to promote local participation in the diamond industry, offering rough parcels through a secure and competitive bidding process with strict eligibility and allocation criteria.

Lastly, our newly introduced Contract Sales channel offers qualifying customers the opportunity to secure a consistent supply of rough diamonds through formal, long-term agreements. This initiative supports strategic partnerships, supply reliability, and beneficiation goals in Botswana.

Each of these sales channels reflects ODC’s commitment to fairness, integrity, and value creation ensuring all customers benefit from a professional, well-governed, and transparent sales environment.

Spot Auctions
Spot Auctions sales are scheduled 10 times a year and are open to participation from all local and international buyers who have successfully completed ODC's registration process. We sell via an online auction following customer viewings of the Sales Lots, which take place at our offices in Gaborone.
Citizen Tenders
Citizen Tenders sales are scheduled 10 times a year and are exclusively for local buyers who have successfully completed ODC’s registration process. Prior to submitting bids, registered participants are invited to inspect the Sales Lots at our Gaborone viewing facilities.
Contract Sales
Okavango Diamond Company (ODC) is pleased to introduce a new Contract Sales Channel in response to the continued growth in our rough diamond entitlement.
