We focus on being in constant collaboration with all our stakeholders beginning with the coffee-growers who surround us.
At Integra we strive for closeness, aiming to assess and understand individual groups’ needs and provide tailor-made solutions to individuals communities’ problems. Understanding that different regions have different needs and that solutions come in many different packages is our strength. We do not believe that single handed approaches lead to sustainable change.
It’s this unique approach that led us to invest in a mill in Antioquia, partner in a drying project in Huila and open a buying station in Risaralda.
Our small asset base, long experience, and focus on relationships allows us to source coffee from all the coffee growing regions of Colombia—from the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta to Ipiales, Nariño.
Our main strengths lie in Antioquia, Huila and the Coffee Belt.
We have worked diligently to maximize our supplier experience by minimizing unnecessary formalities and raising supplier fidelity.
Thanks to our experience, our strategic positioning, and our vast network of associates, Integra ensure that all types, qualities, and quantities of Colombian coffee can reach anywhere in the world.
Our commitment to fulfill our buyers’ needs is unwavering.
To ensure the longevity of coffee growing worldwide by making the trade transparent and fair for all.

Colombian coffee culture is not known for its large haciendas but rather for its artisanal process, where small coffee growers oversee planting, nurturing, harvesting, washing and drying the coffee in the manual and detail-oriented manner that ensures Colombian coffee quality.
