Disclosed is a novel method for producing cadaverine, said method being able to produce cadaverine at a higher yield and a greater efficiency than production methods by means of conventional fermentation methods. The method for producing cadaverine includes the culturing of coryneform bacteria that have the ability to produce cadaverine and that have resistance to pHs at or below 5.5. Preferably, the coryneform bacteria have lysine decarboxylase activity, and preferably, the coryneform bacteria have homoserine auxotrophy and/or S-(2-aminoethyl)-L-cysteine resistance.
