The present invention intends to produce poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyhexanoate) [P(3HB-co-3HHx)] with a high 3-hydroxyhexanoic acid fraction using a vegetable oil as a basic raw material. In accordance with the present invention, there is provided a method of producing a microorganism that produces poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyhexanoate) with a high 3-hydroxyhexanoic acid fraction using a vegetable oil as a basic raw material, by introducing a gene encoding R-hydratase that converts a fatty acid β-oxidation system intermediate to a monomer, (R)-3-hydroxyacyl-CoA [R-3HA-CoA], into a recombinant Cupriavidus necator strain that was conferred an ability of producing P(3HB-co-3HHx).
