Also for prioritization of agricultural cooperatives problems use Entropy criteria in order to selection of the best model for the production and better marketing. Results of this study show that the stochastic efficiency of agricultural cooperatives is 79 Percent and director education level, training classes, visits to science centers and investment in the cooperatives have significant effect on the efficiency and the distance of cooperative to the town center has adverse effect on the efficiency of agricultural cooperatives.
