Abstract

In the context of green low-carbon economy, cross-border e-commerce enterprises urgently need to solve problems such as low levels of quality and insufficient inventory of low-carbon agricultural products, and promote the sustainable development of agricultural product supply chains. Therefore, this paper considers the supply interruption risk and product quality control issues in the cross-border import supply chain, and constructs a cross-border e-commerce secondary supply chain composed of risk-averse cross-border e-commerce enterprises and two risk-neutral overseas suppliers. The optimal decision-making and supply chain coordination of cross-border e-commerce and overseas suppliers under centralized and decentralized decision-making are respectively compared. On this basis, the idea of quality cost sharing is integrated to build an option contract model, and the influence of supply interruption risk and product quality level on optimal purchasing quantity and expected profit under centralized and decentralized decision-making is analyzed by simulation examples. And the effect of the combination of contract parameters such as cost-sharing coefficient on the expected profit of supply chain members in the contract model. The results show that under the contract mode, with the increase of supply interruption risk probability, the expected profit of cross-border e-commerce enterprises shows a downward trend, while the expected profit of the two overseas suppliers as a whole shows an upward trend. When the product quality level continues to improve, the overall expected profit of the cross-border supply chain will increase. Cost-sharing coefficient is positively correlated with the expected profit of cross-border e-commerce enterprises and negatively correlated with the expected profit of overseas suppliers. When the option order price and exercise price increase, the expected income of overseas supplier 2 will gradually increase, on the contrary, the expected income of cross-border e-commerce will gradually decrease. Through this study, it is possible to effectively achieve contract coordination in cross-border e-commerce supply chains, thereby alleviating supply disruptions and promoting sustainable development of low-carbon agricultural product supply chains.
