The present invention relates to a biodegradable resin composition having improved mechanical properties, formability and weatherproof, and a method for manufacturing the biodegradable resin composition. More specifically, the biodegradable resin composition according to the present invention is obtained by mixing an aliphatic dicarboxylic acid or an acid component comprising a mixture of an aliphatic dicarboxylic acid and an aromatic dicarboxylic acid, and aliphatic diol, and subjecting the mixture sequentially to esterification, transesterification, polycondensation, chain extension and solid-state polymerization reactions in the presence of a polyfunctional compound, and may have improved productivity and economic efficiency due to improved reaction rate, excellent tensile strength, elongation rate and processability. In addition, the biodegradable resin composition according to the present invention is environmentally friendly as it is biodegradable in a natural state when buried.
