The fruits are plum-shaped, weighing 90–120 g, firm, and bright red in color. The variety possesses resistance to Verticillium wilt and Fusarium wilt and is adapted to various climatic conditions and temperature stresses.

The BIG RIO 2000 F1 hybrid is characterized by a very early ripening cycle, a determinate growth habit, and good fruit coverage by foliage. The fruits are oval-plum shaped, weighing 120–150 g, and are distinguished by high keeping quality. It possesses resistance to Verticillium wilt, Fusarium wilt, nematodes, and bacterial spot, and is suitable for arid regions.

The RIO BRASIL F1 hybrid belongs to the "Rio Grande" type, has firm fruits weighing about 120 g, and is used to produce "saladette" type plum tomatoes. All tomatoes in this group require staking under heavy crop loads, despite general resistance to lodging due to the compactness of the bush.
