Abstract. We calculate the cross sections for the neutral Higgs-boson production at $e^+e^-$ colliders in the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM) using the Feynman-diagrammatic approach and the on-shell renormalization scheme. We incorporate the Higgs-boson propagator corrections, evaluated up to two-loop order, into the prediction of the cross sections for the Higgs-boson production mechanism $e^+e^- \to hZ,hA$ . The propagator corrections consist of the full one-loop contribution, including the effects of non-vanishing external momentum, and at the two-loop level of the dominant corrections of ${\cal O}(\alpha\alpha_s)$ and further sub-dominant contributions. The results are supplemented with the complete set of one-loop vertex and box corrections. The effects of the two-loop propagator corrections are investigated in detail. We briefly discuss also the effect of the box contributions for high $\sqrt{s}$ . We compare our results with the case where only the corrections to the effective mixing angle, evaluated within the renormalization-group-improved one-loop Effective Potential approach, are taken into account. We find agreement better than 10% for LEP2 energies and deviations larger than 20% for $\sqrt{s} = 500$ GeV.
