[tahitiprince]

Hello,

I was wondering what the Annual Production of South Sea Pearls' were in 2010?
(Australia, Indonesia, Myanmar, Philippines?)
How many exported and their value if possible?

Thank U.

I suggest emailing Andy Mueller from Hinata Trading for this. He is the guy that usually likes to know those numbers.

The World South Sea pearl production volume in 2010 was: Australia 1200 kan (38.1 %), Indonesia 1350 kan (42.9 %), Philippines 400 kan (12.75%), Myanmar and other countries 200 kan (6.3 %)
Value per momme per country: Australia Yen 10,000, Indonesia and Philippines Yen 5000,Myanmar and other countries Yen 7000. Sales to USA and Europe have not been as good in recent years and it went down from 50 percent to 25 percent.
