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, turning 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.
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.

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 development of the clean vegetable processing plant could promote the market, scale, and intensive development of the vegetable industry, driving the added value of local agricultural products and increasing the income of farmers.
The profit of a clean vegetable shop was relatively high. According to the research data in document [1], a 100 square meter supermarket with a monthly turnover of 250,000 to 450,000 yuan could basically maintain a monthly profit of about 50,000 yuan. It was mentioned in document [2] that the added value and profit of agricultural products could be increased through the processing of clean vegetables, increasing the profit to 10%. In addition, the profits of the clean vegetable processing industry were also considered relatively considerable. The high profits of the clean vegetable processing industry were mentioned in documents [4] and [8]. However, the search results did not provide specific profit data for the clean vegetable store, so it was impossible to give a specific figure for the clean vegetable store's profit.
In recent years, the market for processed vegetables had shown a rapid growth trend. Clean vegetables were processed by washing, disinfecting, cutting, etc., and packaged into edible vegetable products in a sterile environment. The processing of clean vegetables was convenient and sanitary. They could be directly cooked in the pot, and the shelf life of the refrigerator was longer. The clean vegetables industry was favored by consumers, especially office workers and young people.

The cleaning equipment could be spray cleaners, drum cleaners, bubble cleaners, etc., to remove dirt and impurities from the surface of the vegetables. The cutting equipment can use a rotating cutter, a belt cutter, and the like to cut the vegetables into a desired shape and size. The packaging equipment was used to package the clean vegetables and deliver them. The auxiliary equipment included hoists, belts, etc., which were used to connect various links and improve production efficiency.
The procedures required for a clean vegetable processing plant included a business license, a food business license, a food circulation license, and a food hygiene license. In addition, employees also needed to have a health certificate. To obtain these certificates, the clean vegetable processing plant must meet food safety standards and operate in accordance with laws, regulations, and national policies.
