The company's product portfolio spans a curated range of salads and fruit vegetables, including multiple tomato varieties (beef, vine, cocktail, cherry, snack, and specialty types in multiple colors), bell and pointed peppers in various sizes and colors, cucumbers (standard, midi, mini, snack), and aubergines under the Purple Pride sub-brand.

TNI generates revenue through transaction-based sales of fresh produce to enterprise retail customers under contract-based pricing.
