PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a toner for electrophotography, containing a crystalline polyester, and having excellent durability without damaging low-temperature fixity, to provide a method for producing the toner, to provide the crystalline polyester usable for the toner and having excellent crushability and hardness, and to provide a binder resin. SOLUTION: The crystalline polyester obtained by polycondensing an alcohol component and a carboxylic acid component containing≥20 mol% of an unsaturated aliphatic dicarboxylic acid compound, and≤5 mol% of a polycarboxylic acid compound of at least tricarboxylic acid comprises a chloroform-dissolvable component having a molecular weight peak top at 1,000-20,000 in a gel permeation chromatography, and a chloroform-insoluble component in a content of 1-30 wt.%. The method for producing the polyester is also provided. The binder resin for the toner contains the crystalline polyester and an amorphous polyester. The toner for the electrophotography contains the binder resin. The method for producing the toner is also provided. COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT
