In this paper, we introduce a fuzzy mathematical programming with generalized fuzzy number as objective coefficients. We also examine a transportation problem with additional restriction. There is an additional entropy objective function in the transportation problem besides transportation cost objective function. Using new fuzzy mathematical programming, this multi-objective entropy transportation problem with generalized trapezoidal fuzzy number costs has been reduced to a primal geometric programming problem. Pareto optimal solution of the transportation model is found. Numerical examples have been provided to illustrate the problem.
