Descriptive and quantitative analysis were employed in data analysis to achieve study aims.

The results of the research showed that:

2- The most important determinants of supply response at the national level were the farm price of a ton of winter onions in the previous year, but the area planted with winter onions in the previous year was the most important determinant of supply response in El-Gharbia Governorate.
