The invention relates to a rosin modified resin and a production method thereof. The production method of the resin comprises the following steps: A, dissolving 95-100 kilograms of grade-one rosin, then transferring into a reaction kettle, adding 0.5-0.8 kilogram of 6-tert-butyl-3-methylphenol, performing steam blowing for 30 minutes when the temperature reaches 190-200 DEG C, and performing vacuum dehydration for 0.5 hour; B, when the temperature rises to 220-230 DEG C, adding 0-0.3 kilogram of di-tert-butyl-para-cresol and phosphite composite stabilizer, turning on condenser cooling water, dropwisely adding 10-15 kilograms of glycerol, performing constant-temperature esterification reaction for 6 hours when the temperature rises to 265 DEG C, then sampling, and assaying the acid value; C, after the assayed acid value is qualified, blowing the resin in the kettle for 1 hours with a steam jet; D, after the blowing operation is finished, further performing vacuum dehydration for 3 hours with a Roots pump; and E, performing nitrogen gas protection, cooling, granulating, and packaging. The rosin modified resin provided by the invention is light and transparent in color, low in smell and wide in application range.
