Then, cost-sharing contracts-based game models are proposed. At last, regarding to optimal supply chain profits and green performance, the proposed contracts and the non-coordination situation are compared and tested by a real case.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n\nFindings<\/jats:title>\nWhen green cost is only shared by one side, the cost-sharing contracts cannot optimally coordinate the food supply chain, but it can improve profits for both the supplier and producer. When consumers\u2019 sensitivity to the green degree of food increases, a mutual cost-sharing contract will bring more profits for both the supplier and producer than those under the non-coordination mode in a decentralized supply chain situation. A real case verifies the conclusions.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n\nResearch limitations\/implications<\/jats:title>\nThe models are in complete information, and the market demand is assumed to be linear to sales price. Mutual cost sharing is only for material processing and food production, which can be extended to include sharing for sales cost. Coordination ideas on the proposed contracts development and solutions for optimal decisions can be applied in the other industries.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n\nPractical implications<\/jats:title>\nThe study shows that coordination between a supplier and a producer is needed to improve the food supply chain\u2019s green performance.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n\nOriginality\/value<\/jats:title>\nThis paper first extends the existing profit functions by considering the green efforts of both a supplier and a producer as well as their effects on green degree of products and consumers\u2019 acceptances to the green
