To provide a manufacturing method of a white polyethylene-2,5-furan dicarboxylate.

The manufacturing method of the polyethylene-2,5-furan dicarboxylate comprises a first step of reacting a furan-2,5-dicarboxylic acid compound represented by general formula (1) (wherein X is a hydroxy group, an alkoxy group or a halogen atom) to with ethylene glycol, to prepare an ester compound and a second step of reacting the ester compound at a reaction temperature of 165C or higher and lower than 185C, to cause polycondensation, where reactions in the first and second steps are carried out in the presence of a polymerization catalyst comprised of scandium triflate.
