StoneX buys Colombian coffee trader Integra to build origination platform

StoneX Group has signed a definitive agreement to acquire Integra Trading S.A.S., a coffee trader, exporter and bean processor operating a certified mill near Medellín. The purchase runs through StoneX's Switzerland-based trading entity and folds into its Supply & Trading physical commodities business. Management expects the deal to be immediately accretive, expanding direct access to high-quality Arabica and creating an integrated origin-to-market platform.

Why it matters: Financial intermediaries are pushing further upstream into physical commodity origination to capture margin beyond brokerage.
