Abstract
Fresh products cold chain has the characteristics of high energy consumption and high carbon emission. Based on the policy background of carbon cap-and-trade, cold chain decision-makers need to comprehensively consider the relationship between economic and ecological benefits. Therefore, this paper constructs a fresh products cold chain optimal decision game model considering retailers’ fresh-keeping efforts and suppliers’ carbon emission reduction efforts, and compares the optimal decision-making of cold chain under different carbon constraints. Finally, the impact of consumer freshness preference and consumer low-carbon preference on retailers’ fresh-keeping efforts, suppliers’ carbon emission reduction efforts and cold chain system profits are numerically analyzed. The results show that the profits of the fresh products cold chain system under the carbon cap-and-trade policy are higher than those without carbon constraints; Raising the carbon trading price can effectively improve the fresh-keeping level, carbon emission reduction level and system profit of the cold chain of fresh products; The improvement of consumers’ freshness preference and low-carbon preference can increase the profits of the cold chain system, reduce carbon emissions and promote the sustainable development of the cold chain to a certain extent.
