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.
Beijing University's clean vegetable processing plant was located in Daxing District, Beijing.
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 feasibility study report on the processing of clean vegetables was a comprehensive study and evaluation report on the processing of clean vegetables. The clean vegetable processing project was considered feasible and had good market demand and economic benefits. This project could realize the concentrated processing and distributed supply of vegetables, adapting to the accelerated pace of modern life and the rapid development of leisure consumption. The clean vegetable processing project had strict requirements on the quality of raw vegetables. It could guide the vegetable industry to develop into a nuisance-free production, large-scale operation, and regional layout, and promote the upgrading of the vegetable industry. In addition, the production technology and equipment of the clean vegetable processing project were relatively advanced. The products catered to the needs of domestic and foreign consumers and had significant economic and social benefits. Therefore, the clean vegetable processing project was considered feasible, and it was recommended to establish it as soon as possible.
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.
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.

Beijing City was promoting the listing of clean vegetables. According to relevant reports, the Beijing City Bureau of Commerce and the Bureau of Agriculture and Village issued guidance, focusing on production, sales, packaging and other aspects to promote the listing of clean vegetables in an all-round way, aiming to reduce the total amount of garbage. The listing of clean vegetables was gradually promoted in stages. In the early stage, it was mainly organized and carried out in agricultural production enterprises, agricultural product wholesale markets, chain supermarkets and other agricultural product circulation enterprises. By strengthening the construction of clean vegetable bases and processing enterprises, developing leading enterprises in fresh-cut vegetables, promoting green reduction and recycling packaging, and guiding residents 'consumption habits, we will gradually reduce the source of agricultural waste. It was reported that the Beijing Xinfadi agricultural products wholesale market could reduce the amount of fruit and vegetable waste produced by 20% every day, and could reduce more than 7000 tons of garbage throughout the year. The implementation of the listing of clean vegetables was aimed at regulating the production and circulation of agricultural products and improving the level of domestic waste classification in the city. At present, clean vegetables had achieved some results in Beijing, but there were still some problems, such as the difficulty of changing consumer habits and the high price of clean vegetables. However, through the large-scale entry of clean vegetables into Beijing from more places, producers, shippers, and operators could reduce costs through healthy competition, giving benefits to consumers, and promoting clean vegetables into thousands of households.
The companies that promoted the listing of clean vegetables in Beijing include Beijing Kangyipin Agricultural Logistics Co., Ltd., Beijing City Yunong High-Quality Agricultural Production Planting Co., Ltd., Beijing Tian 'an Agricultural Development Co., Ltd., Beijing Kang' an Lifeng Agriculture Co., Ltd., Yuanzhi Agricultural Technology (Beijing) Co., Ltd., Beijing Four Seasons Shunxin Food Co., Ltd., Beijing Yongsheng Garden Agricultural Planting Center, Beijing Lvfulong Agriculture Co., Ltd., Beijing Xifeng Chunyu Agricultural Technology Development Co., Ltd. Beijing Qixuan Information Technology Co., Ltd. and other ten companies.
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. The specific requirements included: The company shall have the variety and quantity of food and the processing and packaging places of raw materials that are suitable for the production license, and shall maintain hygiene and be far away from toxic and harmful pollution sources. The company shall have the production and processing facilities corresponding to the variety and quantity of the food under the application, such as disinfection, changing clothes, anti-corrosion and dust-proof facilities. The company shall have the technological processes related to the variety and quantity of the food under the application to avoid cross-contamination of the finished products and raw materials. The company shall be equipped with corresponding food safety technicians and managers according to the scale of the company and the number of products.
