Summary/Abstract: The aim of this paper is to evaluate financial and economic resources efficiency of forest districts in the South Poland in 2012 by means of DEA. Within financial efficiency analysis, maximal potential lumber sales income for the forest districts at fixed costs was determined. Next, within economic resources efficiency analysis, the maximal amount of lumber is evaluated, which is technologically achievable at some fixed resources. Special attention was paid to extremely inefficient units, where an analysis using the so-called benchmarks of efficiency was performed. Additionally, in order to rank the units classified as efficient and to expand the interpretation of the efficiency measures, the super-efficiency model was employed.
