Abstract Agricultural production as an economic activity is influenced by different factors, one ofwhich becomesthe wholesale price, the consumer price at which a certain product is marketed; and the CPI (which measures the variation in the prices of a product). Period to another, of a set of goods and services). The present work I propose to determine incidence ofthe prices (wholesalerand price of saleto consumers), the CPI (Consumer Price Index, CPI of food and beverages, CPI of food consumed at home), CPI of vegetables, pulses and tubers and CPI of fruits in the production of agricultural products in the department of La Paz during the period 2008-2013. Crops with high weightings were selected of spending on each of their groups and that in their consumption does not require an industrial transformation, having been selected potatoes, bananas and tomatoes. The relationships found between production, prices and CPI were positive. The econometric models formulated for potato production had the IPC and IPCalco. The IPC, PMr, PVr, IPCfru and IPCal had a positive impact on banana production. Tomato production had a positive impact on the CPI, IPCal and IPCleg. The variables that formed the different models according to the determination ofthe probable value would promote a higher production ofthe crops studied (the values found being less than 0.05).
