To provide a method for producing an organic acid, whereby the desired organic acid can be efficiently recovered without necessity for adjusting the pH to a neutral level in the fermentation step. The method for producing an organic acid, comprises a first step of producing an organic acid by fermentation to obtain a crude liquid containing the organic acid and having a pH of from 1 to 5, and a second step of extracting the organic acid from the crude liquid containing the organic acid obtained in the first step by means of an extraction medium containing a C10-30 diester compound and an alkylamine compound to obtain an extract (1). |
