Provided is a particle drying method capable of sufficiently removing the volatile component and down-regulating the increase of the viscosity of the particles after the removal of the volatile component. There is provided a method for producing heterophasic propylene polymerization material particles, the method including: (1) performing monomer polymerization in the presence of a catalyst including a solid catalyst component so as to obtain a component I; (2) performing monomer polymerization in the presence of the component I so as to obtain the component II, so that particles including a volatile component are produced; and (3) causing the particles to contact with an inert gas-containing stream so as to remove the volatile component from the particles.
