The invention relates to a production process for extracting, separating and purifying shikimic acid from cedar needles. The process is used for producing shikimic acid by using air-dried fresh cedar needles as raw materials and using industrial alcohol as an extraction solvent for reflux extraction through solvent extraction, silica gel column separation and recrystallization. The method has thecharacteristics of low cost of raw materials, recycling use of organic solvents in production processes, low production cost, high purity of the obtained product, simple steps, easy popularization, and the like.
