The invention relates to a method for fermentation production of 2-ketone-D-gluconic acid and salt thereof in high yield from glucose or amylum hydrolysis sugar. The method is realized through semicontinuous fermentation, namely the repeated feeding and batch fermentation technology. The method comprises the following steps: a microorganism with the capacity of converting the glucose into the 2-ketone-D-gluconic acid is cultured in a fermentation vessel; a culture medium containing the glucose is fed into the fermentation vessel until the culture medium is 60 to 85 percent of the volume of the fermentation vessel; after feeding is completed, 50 to 95 percent of fermentation broth is released from the fermentation vessel so as to recover the 2-ketone-D-gluconic acid and the salt thereof (the concentration of the glucose in the fermentation broth is lower than 2 grams per liter at the time); and residual fermentation broth in the fermentation vessel is taken as a seed to perform repeated feeding and batch fermentation.
