Abstract Abstract：As the proportion of non-local farmers among suburban vegetable growers continues to increaseand the differentiation among farmers has intensified，it is of great significance to identify the characteristicsof vegetable production by local and non-local farmers in order to improve the capacity of vegetable emergencysupply in cities．Based on the survey data from 203 households in Beijing，analysed the productioncharacteristics of local and non-local farmers．The results show that the heterogeneity of the vegetableproduction of local and non-local farmers is evident and manifests itself in three aspects．First，factor inputs，mainly labor and land inputs rather than capital inputs．Second，technology promotion and adoption，mainlytechnology subsidies，technology training and the adoption of quality and safety-oriented technologies，ratherthan the adoption of yield-enhancing and environmentally friendly technologies．Third，cost benefits，mainlyemployment costs，rent costs and costs returns．The technology promotion，adoption and cost benefits of localfarmers are higher than those of non-local farmers，while the factor inputs of non-local farmers are significantly higher than those of local farmers．This indicates that non-local farmers’facility vegetable production reliesmainly on factor inputs rather than technology adoption，resulting in high costs and low benefits．Therefore，countermeasures were proposed：emphasize the cultivation of New Agricultural Business Entities，strengthenfinancial support，and accelerate the popularization and application of new technologies，so as to break theconstraints of facility vegetable production for both local and non-local farmers，and promote the overallimprovement of production capacity．
