| Onion and Garlic are a popular food and they have a significant contributor to good health. The study uses the Malmquist index technique to measure the efficiency change of onion and garlic production in Egypt during 1995-2019. In the studied period, the mean of onion production is 1572.39 thousand ton and the mean of garlic production is 240.31 thousand ton. The minimum value of onion production (386.345 thousand ton) and garlic production (119.172 thousand ton) in 1995, while the maximum value of onion production (3077.316 thousand ton) and garlic production (363.46 thousand ton) in 2019. Gharbia governorate has the highest production and the largest area of onion, while Beni Suef governorate has the highest production and the largest area of Garlic, in 2019. Ismailia governorate has the lowest production and the lowest area of onion and Garlic in 2019. The results indicate growth in efficiency for onion production and some declining in efficiency for garlic production. The study recommends increasing the area of onion and garlic production | ||||
