According to the company's data, there are 66,700 enterprises related to prefabricated vegetables in China

Since the outbreak of the epidemic, the prepared vegetable industry has grown exponentially

Especially in the B-end market, as the penetration rate of takeaway is increasing year by year, 85% of the sales channels of prepared vegetables are concentrated in the B-end, of which the penetration rate is about 8%

From the perspective of catering people, pre-made dishes are actually the product of the rapid development of China's catering industry, which can help catering companies to improve product standardization, reduce costs, increase meal delivery rates, and directly or indirectly solve the "three highs of labor, rent, and raw materials.

On the one hand, the industry is developing rapidly, and on the other hand, there is a long industrial chain and complex and intertwined formats.

Previously, NCBD (Meal Collection) released the "2021 China Prepared Vegetable Industry Index Province Ranking List"

It is reported that the "Prefabricated Vegetables" group standard fully draws on the practice of industry benchmarking enterprises and combines the characteristics of the industry to stipulate the raw and auxiliary material requirements, technical requirements, hygienic requirements of the production process, inspection rules, labeling, packaging and storage for prefabricated dishes in the catering consumption scenario.

Experts pointed out that from the perspective of the characteristics of prefabricated dishes, the meal delivery rate and standardization rate are just needed, and as the market sinks, the penetration force will be stronger in the future, and the brand will be continued and deeply cultivated
