Our Story
From the Amazon to Asia’s largest food fair
Natu Açaí is a Brazilian brand of Amazonian origin with a clear mission: to transform açaí powder into a truly global superfood. In March 2026, this mission reached a historic milestone.
AAHAR — The International Food and Hospitality Fair is considered one of the largest and most important international food and hospitality fairs in Asia, held annually in New Delhi, India. In its 40th edition, at Bharat Mandapam, Natu Açaí participated alongside partners Eco+ Brazil and Açaí da Fábrica, under the leadership of ApexBrasil — Brazil’s trade and investment promotion agency.
The result at AAHAR 2026 was historic: the Brazilian delegation won the Gold Medal for Excellence in Display in the Processed Food & Beverages Products (Foreign) category — the fair’s highest recognition for foreign food products, putting Brazilian açaí powder at the center of the Asian food market’s attention.AAHAR 2026 Results
