[PROBLEMS] To provide a method for producing a fatty acid ester by conducting the transesterification of a plant oil rapidly in a simple apparatus. [MEANS FOR SOLVING PROBLEMS] A method for producing a fatty acid ester from a plant oil, characterized by reacting an alcohol with a plant oil in the presence of an alkali metal phosphate; and a diesel fuel produced by the method. L'invention concerne un procédé de production d'un ester d'acide gras en effectuant la transestérification d'une huile végétale rapidement dans un appareil simple. Ce procédé de production d'un ester d'acide gras à partir d'une huile végétale est caractérisé en ce que l'on fait réagir un alcool avec une huile végétale en présence d'un phosphate de métal alcalin. L'invention concerne également un carburant diesel produit par ce procédé.
