Fresh-Keeping Decision and Coordination of Fresh Agricultural Product Supply Chain Considering Carbon Cap-and-Trade under Different Dominance

Abstract

In the context of low carbon, this paper discussed the impact of the carbon cap-and-trade policy on the fresh-keeping decision-making of two-echelon fresh agricultural product supply chains under different dominance, and designed cost-sharing contracts to coordinate the supply chain of fresh agricultural products dominated by suppliers and retailers respectively. The results showed that: dominance has no effect on the fresh-keeping decision and total revenue of fresh agricultural product supply chain, but it affects the internal income distribution, and dominance does not always bring more benefits; the implementation of carbon cap-and-trade reduces the fresh-keeping decision-making of fresh agricultural products supply chain and reduces the free-rider income of followers; the role of higher carbon trading price is twofold, which not only brings about the speculation of leading enterprises, but also promotes the application of low-carbon technologies; consumers’ high preference for freshness, low-cost and high-efficiency low-carbon technology are all conducive to improving the fresh-keeping efforts and benefits of the supply chain; cost-sharing contracts can coordinate the supply chain of fresh agricultural products.
