To produce a sintered ore containing pig iron grains excellent in the reducibility in a blast furnace with which the reduction in a fuel ratio and the drastic improvement of pig iron tapping ratio in the blast furnace are realized.

The pig iron grains containing ≥3 mass % carbon and desirably ≥70% of which have 5-20 mm grain diameters thereof, are added into a sintering raw material by 5-20 mass %, and after mixing and granulating, the granular product is charged into a sintering machine and sintered.
