The present invention provides an industrially applicable method for production of a fluorine-containing cyclopropane carboxylic acid compound useful as an intermediate for pharmaceutical and agrichemical products. A fluorine-containing cyclopropane monoester is obtained by: forming a fluorine-containing cyclic sulfate with the use of a fluorine-containing dial compound and sulfuryl fluoride (as a cyclic sulfuric esterification step); reacting the fluorine-containing cyclic sulfate with a malonic diester, thereby forming a fluorine-containing cyclopropane diester (as a cyclopropanation step); and hydrolyzing the fluorine-containing cyclopropane diester (as a hydrolysis step). The fluorine-containing cyclopropane carboxylic acid compound, such as fluorine-containing cyclopropane monoester or its salt, can be obtained with high chemical and optical purity by mixing the fluorine-containing cyclopropane monoester with an amine and subjecting the resulting salt of the fluorine-containing cyclopropane monoester and amine to recrystallization purification.
