A method for producing a latex composition, the method comprising a provision step of providing a conjugated diene polymer latex; and a preparation step of adding a sulfur-based vulcanizing agent, a xanthogen compound, and a strong acid salt-based surfactant to the conjugated diene polymer latex to prepare a latex composition.

A latex composition includes a sulfur-based vulcanizing agent and a xanthogen compound mixed with a conjugated diene polymer latex, the aqueous dispersion of a sulfur-based vulcanizing agent being a dispersion in which the sulfur-based vulcanizing agent is dispersed in water using an anionic surfactant.
