A process for the production of an ester or a mixture of esters, comprising allowing an olefin, carbon monoxide and an alcohol to react in the presence of hydrogen fluoride. The esters can be produced at high yields at a low temperature over a short period of time. The esters can be easily separated from the reaction solution and hydrogen fluoride can be recycled. The kinetic viscosity and the colouration of the mixture of the esters can be easily adjusted and an increase in the viscosity of the esters can be prevented.
