Abstract

In the current study attempted to evaluated performance for oilseed producer provimces , oil crude extraction units and refinery plants in year 2011. Efficiency measured by data envelopment analysis (DEA) models. Then by using various methods based on DEA, efficient units were ranked and were selected one of them as the best method for ranking. Analysis of the results obtained from different ways were showed that anderson - peterson method has lower reliability rather than cross efficiency method. The technical efficiency results showed that there is the potential for increased production in the first and second levels of the supply chain of vegetable oil. Also in the lack of economic efficiency, allocative efficiency has the higher contribution. Profitability reinforcement in the all levels of supply chain and productivity increas ment in the oilseed production sector due to lower cost can incease the domestic production attractiveness and decrease dependency of import.
