[Problem] There are provided a method for production of a fatty acid alkyl ester and a system therefor, in which a high yield of the fatty acid alkyl ester is achieved even without using any special equipment and separation of a fatty acid alkyl ester phase from a glycerin phase can be carried out within an extremely short period of time. [Means to solve] The method for producing a fatty acid alkyl ester of the present invention comprises subjecting a starting oil to an ester exchange reaction with a lower alkyl alcohol in the presence of a catalyst to generate the fatty acid alkyl ester, wherein the ester exchange reaction step is carried out in a homogeneous phase system by adding an organic solvent selected from acetone, isopropanol and a mixture thereof to a reaction system.
