Abstract

The research problem focuses on studying the economic efficiency indicators of potato and onion crops during the COVID-19 pandemic. This is achieved through analyzing production and economic variables, as well as net returns on economic performance for both crops under study. Based on the research problem, the main objective is to study the 
economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on structural changes in production costs and net returns per acre for the key summer crops of onions and potatoes, which are harvested around April and represent the primary export season. This season contributes approximately 75% of Egypt's potato exports. The main objective is achieved through several subsidiary objectives. It is necessary to provide production supplies in rural banks and agricultural cooperatives at suitable prices, which contributes to reducing production costs and consequently increasing the net return for the crop.
Modern farming methods will be used to enhance the efficiency of agricultural operations, leading to cost reduction and providing appropriate returns for farmers. Attention should be given to programs and guidance seminars related to improving the efficiency of agricultural resources in the production of summer onions and potatoes, leading to increased 
production and reduced production costs, thereby encouraging farmers to cultivate them. Since farmers are essential partners in the agricultural development process, they must be trained and guided to apply proper farming practices and select high-yielding varieties, as agricultural knowledge is passed down through generations. It is important to establish an appropriate pricing policy for production supplies to reduce the costs of producing these crops, increase their net return, and encourage their cultivation.
