IMPORTER INSIGHT with Amanda Hornéy

With over 15 years in fresh produce—specializing in citrus, mangoes, avocados, and tropical fruits—I’ve worked alongside top growers, importers, and brands, earning recognition like Produce Business’s 40 Under 40 and the Frieda Rapoport Caplan Family Business Scholarship.

As the founder of Importer Insight, I’m here to bridge the gap between consumers and the global import industry. Our podcast dives deep into market trends, industry challenges, and success stories—empowering businesses with the knowledge they need to thrive. But we don’t stop at insights. I help importers sell their commodities, craft powerful marketing strategies, and claim their share of an evolving marketplace.

Beyond Importer Insight, I serve as a Board Member of the Texas International Produce Association, actively working to improve transparency in border crossings and raise industry standards. Alongside my industry consulting and podcast, I remain actively involved in fresh produce sales, ensuring I stay connected to the evolving market landscape. My passion is helping businesses cut through the noise, build strong brands, and maximize their impact in competitive markets.

Outside the industry, I bring the same strategic mindset to real estate as a Global Advisor with Dielmann Sotheby’s International Realty. I also run a solar-powered hobby farm with my family and co-founded the Viburnum Homeschool Co-Op, combining entrepreneurship with a love for education and community.

The import world is evolving. Whether you’re a consumer hungry for knowledge or a business ready to expand, I’m here to help you navigate it with confidence. Let’s connect and take your imports to the next level!
