Study on the feasibility of processing clean vegetables

There were two profit models for processing and distribution of clean vegetables: price difference and vegetable processing. The first method was to buy vegetables from the vegetable base at a low price, then sell them at a high price after simple packaging, and use the price difference to realize profits. This was the way most vegetable distribution companies made profits. The second method was to process the vegetables into semi-finished products and then sell them at a high price to turn the ingredients into semi-finished products with higher added value. This method was the most competitive way to make profits in the vegetable distribution industry. Different companies had different value-added vegetable processing methods, which was beneficial for companies to form their own competitive advantages. Although the profit model of the processing and distribution of clean vegetables was clear, it was not diverse. Once the market fluctuated, the operation of the entire enterprise might be stagnant. In addition, the processing and distribution of clean vegetables involved many industrial links, such as vegetable planting, manual processing, and cold chain logistics, which required sufficient planning and investment. Although the demand for clean vegetable delivery had existed for a long time, there was no mature model in the market yet.

Beijing Clean Vegetables Processing Plant cooperated with Fenghe Agriculture, Beijing Tongdefa Food Material supply chain Co., Ltd. and other enterprises. The cooperative cooperated with the vegetable research center of the Beijing City Academy of Agricultural and Forest Sciences and the Hebei Province Academy of Agricultural and Forest Sciences to improve the processing technology of clean vegetables and improve the quality and preservation time of clean vegetables. In addition, Beijing Kangyipin Agricultural Logistics Co., Ltd., Beijing Four Seasons Shunxin Food Co., Ltd. and other enterprises were also selected as clean vegetable processing demonstration enterprises to provide clean vegetable products and supply chain services to Beijing City. Raoyang County, Hebei Province, signed a cooperation framework agreement with relevant associations and business representatives in Beijing City, opening a direct train for Hebei vegetables to Beijing, quickly delivering freshly picked vegetables to the dining tables of Beijing residents. In addition, the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region was also speeding up the construction of clean vegetable processing bases to promote the industrial development of clean vegetables. Overall, the Beijing Clean Vegetables Processing Plant had cooperated with many companies and regions to provide high-quality clean vegetables and meet the needs of the Beijing market.

The equipment required for the processing of clean vegetables included a vegetable pre-cooling and selection assembly line, a bubble cleaner, a spiral disinfecting machine, a room temperature water cooler, a multi-functional vegetable cutter, and so on. These devices were used for the selection, cleaning, draining, cutting, and other processes of vegetables. The cleaning equipment mainly included bubble cleaners and spray cleaning equipment. The vegetable cutting equipment included vegetable shredders, shredders, slicing machines, etc. In addition, they also needed dehydration equipment, disinfection equipment, packaging equipment, and transportation equipment. The clean vegetable processing equipment could form a fully automatic clean vegetable processing production line according to the needs, achieving a higher degree of automaton and saving labor.

There were two main profit models for the processing and distribution of clean vegetables: price difference and vegetable processing. The first method was to buy vegetables from the vegetable base at a low price, then sell them at a high price after simple packaging, and use the price difference to realize profits. This was the way most vegetable distribution companies made profits. The second method was to process the vegetables into semi-finished products and then sell them at a high price to make the ingredients into semi-finished products with higher added value. This was the most competitive way to make money in the vegetable distribution industry. Different enterprises had different value-added vegetable processing, which was beneficial for enterprises to form their own competitive advantage.

A clean vegetable processing plant was an enterprise that specialized in the processing and production of clean vegetables. The clean vegetable processing plant processed the freshly picked vegetables into vacuum packaged clean vegetable products through cleaning, disinfection, shredding, sterilization, drying and other processes. Clean vegetables had the characteristics of freshness, hygiene, convenience, and could be cooked directly into the pot. They had broad market prospects. At present, there were clean vegetable processing plants all over China, such as Hebei, Shanghai, Guangdong, Yunnan, Zhejiang and other places.

The processing and distribution of semi-finished vegetables was the process of processing and distributing fresh vegetables. The emergence of this business model was to solve the loss of vegetables and make profits. At the same time, it also catered to the needs of the lazy economy and young people in modern society. The semi-finished vegetable processing and distribution project had a profit margin. There were two main ways to make a profit: one was to realize profits through price difference, that is, to buy vegetables at a low price and sell them at a high price; the other was to process vegetables into semi-finished products and sell them at a high price. This business model was highly competitive in the market. It required close tracking of market trends, grasping consumers 'tastes and preferences, and timely development and launch of products that met the needs of young people. In the future, the semi-finished vegetable distribution market still had market prospects, especially for those food and beverage companies that did not have the full line of cold chain logistics. The semi-finished vegetables produced by local food and beverage companies had a competitive advantage. In addition, the integration of semi-finished vegetables and online economy also added potential to its market prospects.

The difference between prepared vegetables and clean vegetables was the degree of processing and the way they were used. Clean vegetables referred to vegetables that had been washed, cut, and other simple processes. They could be eaten directly or cooked without additional processing. Prefabricated dishes were finished or semi-finished dishes that had been pre-processed or pre-cooked. After packaging, they were stored, transported, and sold at room temperature, under cold or frozen conditions. They could be eaten directly or after simple cooking. There was a wide variety of prepared dishes, including ready-to-eat food, ready-to-heat food, ready-to-cook food, and ready-to-serve food. Clean dishes paid more attention to maintaining the freshness and nutrition of the raw materials, while prepared dishes paid more attention to convenience and time-saving.

The clean vegetables processing and distribution project referred to the fresh vegetables that were graded, sorted, selected, washed, cut, preserved, and packaged to maintain their freshness. Then, these processed or packaged clean vegetables were directly sent to places where they were needed, such as school canteens, hotels, chain restaurants, etc. The clean vegetable processing and distribution project had the following characteristics and prospects: 1. [To provide a convenient consumption model: Clean vegetables are secondary processed products with a short shelf life, so the price is relatively high.] However, the delivery of clean vegetables was done online, which was convenient and fast, and was very popular among young people. 2. policy support and market demand: the processing of clean vegetables is supported by national policies and has a bright future.

In addition, the market scope of clean vegetable delivery was expanding, from coastal to inland, from first-tier cities to second-tier and third-tier cities. However, the clean vegetable distribution industry also faced some challenges, such as fierce market competition, high operating costs, logistics and distribution costs, etc. The relevant departments needed to strengthen policy support and supervision to promote the healthy and orderly development of clean vegetable distribution. In summary, clean vegetable delivery had prospects, but it needed to overcome difficulties and challenges to achieve sustainable development.

The clean dish delivery platform was a business model that provided the delivery service of clean dishes (semi-finished dishes) through an online platform. Through these platforms, users could choose and order the dishes they needed, and then the platform would deliver the semi-finished dishes to the location specified by the user. This delivery model was designed to solve the time-consuming and annoying problem of urban white-collar workers in the cooking process, and to provide users with convenient, clean, and reasonably priced exquisite dinners. The clean vegetable delivery platform usually worked with farms and bases to ensure the quality and safety of the ingredients. Some platforms also offered innovative services, such as intelligent recommendations of clean dishes that suited the user's taste and online chef answering services.
