Supply chain integration plays an important role in the development of the vegetable industry in terms of vegetable quality, vegetable safety, and vegetable security in rural China. This paper explores how agricultural cooperatives integrate the vegetable supply chain by taking a trinity cooperative as an example in China. It explains the translation concatenation of supply chain integration for this cooperative by constructing actor networks in four development stages, including the seed stage, start-up stage, development stage, and mature stage. The findings show that supply chain integration in production cooperation, supply & sales cooperation, and credit cooperation is a useful trinity cooperative model of supply chain integration for investigating vegetable supply chain integration through internal integration and external integration. This paper suggests that cooperatives in the vegetable supply chain should facilitate close coordination among different shareholders and further improve the efficiency of supply chain integration. The government should provide training opportunities and funding to encourage cooperatives to participate in supply chain integration within the vegetable industry.
供应链整合在中国农村的蔬菜质量、蔬菜安全和蔬菜保障方面对蔬菜产业的发展起着重要作用。本文以三位一体合作社为例，探讨了农业合作社如何通过构建四个发展阶段的行动者网络来整合蔬菜供应链，包括种子阶段、启动阶段、发展阶段和成熟阶段。研究结果表明，生产合作、供销合作和信用合作的供应链整合是一种有效的三位一体合作社模式，通过内部整合和外部整合来研究蔬菜供应链整合。本文建议蔬菜供应链中的合作社应促进不同股东之间的密切协调，进一步提高供应链整合的效率。政府应提供培训机会和资金，鼓励合作社参与蔬菜产业的供应链整合。
