Abstract: According to relevant documents such as 2003-2016 statistical yearbooks of Yunnan Province, the author analyzes the impact of drought on the change of agricultural products price by panel data model, and proposes some feasible suggestions, in order to provide a reference for decision-making in the sustainable development of agriculture. The results indicated that the frequent occurrence of drought was the most important factor for the change of agricultural products price in Yunnan Province, and drought also restricted the price of agricultural products significantly. In addition, the price of agricultural products across Yunnan Province would decrease by 11.23% if the average annual precipitation reduced by 100 mm, and the impact degree in different regions varied a lot, meaning that different regions had different resistance abilities to the impact of drought concerning the change of agricultural products price, with Xishuangbanna Autonomous Prefecture ranking the first whereas Lincang City ranking the last.
