Account Receivables
Don Hugo Produce, Inc.
Edinburg, TX

For more than a decade, Deysi Hernandez has been a part of Don Hugo Produce Inc., based in Edinburg, TX. Since joining the company in April 2012, she has witnessed its growth firsthand. Established in 2008, the small operation is now a recognized name in the produce industry.

As an accounts receivable specialist, Hernandez creates customer orders, manages accounts, and ensures details for the company, which specializes in importing and distributing Mexican produce.

“The company has allowed me to experience different positions, from the shipping/receiving department to the accounting department,” she says, “allowing me to understand how each department’s duties and accuracy connect with each other to allow the company to flow.”

Deysi’s advice for those new to the produce world is “don’t give up. Do your best to provide the best quality in product and service.”

Outside of work, Hernandez enjoys moments that balance her professional life. “I love spending time with my daughters — watching movies, cooking, and enjoying the sunset,” she says.

Reading Produce Business magazine, she says, “I love how the magazine provides so much useful information surrounding produce, and I enjoy reading each page.”

For Hernandez, success in the produce industry isn’t just about numbers — it’s about growing, learning, and taking pride in the journey.
