A method for producing a toner, comprising the step of feeding raw materials containing a resin binder and a colorant to an open-roller type kneader, and melt-kneading the raw materials, wherein the resin binder contains a crystalline polyester and an amorphous polyester, and wherein the crystalline polyester and the amorphous polyester fed to the open-roller type kneader are in a weight ratio, i.e. crystalline polyester/amorphous polyester, of from 5/95 to 30/70, and have a ratio of average particle sizes of crystalline polyester/amorphous polyester of from 1.5 to 4.0. The toner obtained according to the present invention is used in, for example, the development of a latent image formed in electrophotography, electrostatic recording method, electrostatic printing method or the like.
