The present invention relates to a production process of citicoline. It is characterized by that said production process includes the following steps: firstly, adding water and glucose into a reaction tank, then adding yeast, making fermentation, after fermentation adding inorganic salt and choline phosphate, the adding cytidine monophosphate solution, an adding cane sugar, heating, then quickly-cooling by using water, pressing reaction liquid, washing by using water, removing salt from obtained clear liquor; then pressing said clear liquor and making said clear liquor be fed into a carbon column, rinsing said carbon column by using pure water, then using ethyl alcohol solution to make elution, collecting citicoline sodium; then vaporizing and concentrating eluent, diluting concentrate and making it be fed into a macroporous ion exchange resin column, then washing said column by using water and making elution, concentrating eluent, heating the collected citicoline sodium solution, removing impurity by utilizing ultrafiltration device, decolouring, adding ethyl alcohol and stirring them, storing the above-mentioned material in a refrigeration house and staying overnight; then making crystal solution undergo the processes of centrifugal separation, vacuum drying, bagging, weighing, sealing and dry-storage.
