In order to enable a reductive amination reaction at a low temperature and a low hydrogen pressure, provided is a catalyst comprising cobalt supported on an oxide, the catalyst produced by a method comprising the following steps (1) to (4): (1) a step of mixing a salt containing a cobalt ion and an oxide in water, (2) a step of distilling water away from a mixed solution obtained in step (1) and drying a resulting solid material, (3) a step of calcining a dried material obtained in step (2) in a nitrogen stream, and (4) a step of reducing a calcined product obtained in step (3) in a hydrogen stream.
