Development of non-oil exports, due to the unfledged situation of oil exports in different economic dimensions of the country, especially in the purchase power dimension of oil revenues owing to severe fluctuations of oil price, population growth, and terminable status of oil resources, has gained necessity. Recent experiences in Iran have shown that economy reliance to the revenues of oil sales, results in exports revenues instability, thus according to the necessity of this research, assessment and development of non-oil products exports in the social security investment company is the main objective. In this study, we have used fuzzy logic according to the viewpoints of 25 individuals of university professors and firms’ managers. Research findings have shown that in order to approach non-oil products exports in SHASTA to the optimization level and to improve and develop this type of export, distribution, and environment factors should be mentioned more.
