Abstract:
In recent years, the Vietnamese seafood industry is sharply growing up and being exported to many countries over the world. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficiency of Vietnamese Seafood companies, from past to future, by integration of the grey first-order single variables GM(1,1) model) using the grey theory method and the super slacked-based measure (SBM) model in the data envelopment analysis (DEA) method. First, the GM(1,1) model is used to estimate the future values of input and output variables during the period of 2021–2024. Second, the super-SBM model is implemented to discover the efficiency and position of Seafood companies from past to future. The main findings indicate that six Vietnamese seafood companies, including ABT, BLF, FMC, KHS, SJ1, and VHC obtain an efficiency score in both historical and future terms. Empirical results develop an overall picture of the seafood industry in Vietnam by means of a measurement of the operational process.
