- The thesis has applied the value chain theory to the study of clean vegetable chains through the links in the chain, including: Cultivation, processing, packaging, preservation, distribution and consumption. Through each link, the cost of time, effort and investment money increases, which means the value of clean vegetable products increases gradually. This is an inevitable scientific rule in the value chain in general and the researched value chain in particular.

- Analyzing the current status of clean vegetable production of the clean vegetable farm studied, the thesis points out the strengths and limitations of the clean vegetable production chain studied.

- Researching the concept and practice of clean vegetable consumption of Hanoi people in general and Thanh Xuan district in particular still has many concerns. Specifically, the correct understanding of the concept of clean vegetables is not high, and the consumption practice still has many big doubts about the real quality of the product.
