Abstract

Vegetable crops are considered among the agricultural intensification crops with a quick return due to their short survival in the soil, which aims to achieve national food security due to their daily nutritional importance to humans when consuming them, whether in their fresh or processed form, and despite the attention paid by the state in the recent period to the production of vegetable crops and due to their nutritional importance and value Many of them are exported, but in the recent period it was noticed a decrease in the cultivated area, especially the tomato crop, and the obvious fluctuation in the percentage of self-sufficiency in each of the onion and tomato crops, which was important to study the production and consumption situation of the onion and tomato crop at the national level, The objectives of the study represent some axes in which we can study the production and consumption situation and the rate of self-sufficiency of the onion and tomato crop in Egypt in the period (2001-2018) by studying the development of indicators of production, consumption and self-sufficiency of the onion and tomato crop in Egypt.
