Investigating the economic and carbon emission performance of green production in marketing cooperatives is important in clarifying China's green transition path and promoting green development. In this paper, we estimated the economic and carbon emission performance of green production in marketing cooperatives using survey data from 340 samples in Shandong Province, China. The results show that green farming improved the performance of marketing cooperatives, and the larger the scale, the better the performance. It is still valid after weakening the endogenous problem through endogenous transformation regression. Particularly, green farming has a more significant effect on the performance of low-performing marketing cooperatives. In addition, the carbon emission per unit area of green produces are significantly lower than that of conventional produces, and the carbon emission per unit yield of most green produces lower than that of conventional produces. Therefore, strengthening the standardized development of marketing cooperatives, promoting green technology research and development, and standardizing the market supervision of green produces are important ways to achieve the economic and carbon emission performance of green produces in China, as well as to promote China's green transformation.
研究农产品营销合作社绿色生产的经济和碳排放绩效，对于厘清中国的绿色转型路径、推动绿色发展具有重要意义。本文利用中国山东省340个样本的调查数据，估算了农产品营销合作社绿色生产的经济和碳排放绩效。结果表明，绿色种植提高了农产品营销合作社的绩效，规模越大，绩效越好。通过内生转换回归减弱内生性问题后，该结论依然成立。特别地，绿色种植对绩效较差的农产品营销合作社的影响更为显著。此外，绿色农产品的单位面积碳排放量显著低于传统农产品，多数绿色农产品的单位产量碳排放量也低于传统农产品。因此，加强农产品营销合作社的规范化发展、推动绿色技术研发、规范绿色农产品的市场监管，是实现中国绿色农产品经济和碳排放绩效、推动中国绿色转型的重要途径。
