The reduction of fresh agricultural product volume loss throughout the supply chain system is of high importance due to their perishable nature and impact on society, the economy, and environment. In this paper, three models for two-stage pricing, coordination, and volume loss reduction of the supply chain where third-party logistics service providers and retailers act as a Stackelberg leader and a follower for fresh agricultural products are developed, taking into account both volume loss during transport and quality loss in retail in the presence of strategic consumers. The following results are drawn from the contract for sharing revenues and service costs: (1) The supply chain achieve coordination and the products are healthier for consumers; (2) the coordination leads to a reduction in the three types of volume losses simultaneously only if the lowest marginal costs of the supply chain occur under certain conditions; and (3) the increase in the service sensitivity coefficient, the increase in the freshness discount coefficient under certain conditions, the decrease in the consumer benefit discount coefficient under certain conditions, and the decrease in the price sensitivity coefficient lead to an increase in the profit of the supply chain and a reduction in the three types of volume losses.
由于新鲜农产品易腐的特性及其对社会、经济和环境的影响，减少整个供应链系统中新鲜农产品的损耗量非常重要。本文考虑到新鲜农产品在运输过程中的损耗和零售过程中的质量损耗，针对第三方物流服务提供商和零售商作为新鲜农产品供应链的领导者和追随者的两级定价、协调和损耗减少问题，建立了三个模型。在存在战略消费者的情况下，对分享收入和服务成本的合同进行了研究：（1）供应链实现了协调，产品对消费者更健康；（2）只有在供应链的最低边际成本在一定条件下发生时，协调才会同时减少这三种类型的损耗；（3）服务敏感度系数、一定条件下的新鲜度折扣系数、一定条件下的消费者收益折扣系数的增加以及价格敏感度系数的降低会导致供应链利润的增加和三种类型损耗的减少。
