Our Story
The journey of Nectar Fruits began with our founder, Rubem Fontenele, whose roots trace back to the heart of the Amazon rainforest in Brazil. Rubem grew up surrounded by acai palms in his family’s backyard, where he and his family would harvest fresh acai berries directly from the trees to make homemade acai bowls—a tradition he holds dear to this day.
​
Born in Brazil, Rubem’s connection to the acai berry runs deep. After moving to Australia in 2004 to study English, Rubem completed his MBA by 2008 and soon decided to make Australia his permanent home. By 2015, he saw the growing demand for acai products in Australia and recognized a business opportunity. Determined to share his love of acai with his new home, Rubem sold all his personal assets, founded Nectar Fruits, and imported his first small shipment of acai berries. He began delivering directly to customers from the boot of his car, and even stored product in his bedroom freezer.
​
Fast forward to 2024, Nectar Fruits has grown into one of Australia’s most trusted suppliers of premium acai products and custom dispensing machines, proudly serving over 500 customers nationwide through a robust network of distributors. Our humble beginnings have shaped who we are today—focused on quality, customer service, and making acai products accessible to businesses and individuals all across Australia.​​​​​​

About Our founder
Rubem Fontenele, Founder of Nectar Fruits
IHi, I'm Rubem Fontenele, CEO and Founder of Nectar Fruits. Growing up in Brazil, I was immersed in the vibrant culture of acai from an early age. The Amazon rainforest was my backyard, and the acai palm trees were an integral part of our daily lives. My passion for acai has only deepened over the years, and I’m incredibly proud to now share this incredible superfood with people across Australia.
When I’m not working on the business, I love surfing and traveling—especially when it allows me to visit my family in Brazil and see our acai factory in action. Acai has always been close to my heart, and it’s a privilege to be able to bring this superfruit to businesses and families all over Australia.
