1 Bioceres Crop Solutions Reports Fiscal First Quarter 2022 Financial and Operational Results 1Q22 comparable revenues up 54% YoY, and LTM Adjusted EBITDA reached $50.2m HB4 inventory ramp-up advancing as projected – no additional information requested by Brazilian or Chinese regulatory authorities ROSARIO, Argentina – November 10, 2021 – Bioceres Crop Solutions Corp. (“Bioceres”) (NASDAQ: BIOX), a fully integrated provider of crop productivity solutions designed to enable the transition of agriculture towards carbon neutrality, has reported financial results for the first quarter 2022, ended September 30, 2021. Financial results are expressed in U.S. dollars and are presented in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards. All comparisons in this announcement are year-over-year (“YoY”), unless noted otherwise. FISCAL FIRST QUARTER FINANCIAL & BUSINESS HIGHLIGHTS • Total Comparable Revenues increased 54% to $64.8 million. Top line growth comes from the solid momentum built throughout the last three quarters, with revenue growth accelerating up from +35-40% level in first half of the calendar year. Growth driven primarily by new commercial strategies in Crop Nutrition and Protection segments, new products, and generally positive sector dynamics in Latin America. • LTM Adjusted EBITDA reached $50.2 million, confirming upward trend compared to the year-ago metric. Baseline business supports HB4 roll-out with LTM Adjusted EBITDA fully accounting for $3.4 million in pre-operational expenses related to HB4 Program. • Momentum in micro-beaded fertilizer sales continues for the third consecutive quarter, with Crop Nutrition segment accounting for 44% of the growth observed for the period, with installed capacity reaching 48%, up 60% YoY. • Crop Protection segment benefits from full effects of sales-force/channel re- organization, with this segment explaining close to 55% of the growth for the quarter. • HB4 inventory ramp-up processes moving forward as discussed in previous Earnings Reports, with early season HB4 Soy planting completed and late season plantings, which represent the majority of the targeted hectares, to be initiated in the coming days. HB4 Wheat harvest already began and currently is at about 10% progress. On the regulatory

GRAPHIC

2 front, no additional information was requested by Chinese regulators and Brazil’s CTNBio regarding HB4 Soy and HB4 Wheat, respectively. • Ecotoxicological scoring added to ESG Report on HB4 inventories. Data gathered from crop maintenance practices and exposure to different active ingredients, translated into ecotoxicological scores to track reduction in chemical footprint on top of existing carbon and water footprint measurements. Current reporting level sets a new industry standard and highlights the value of identity preserved production systems, digital technology, and data science. • Bioceres’ subsidiary Rizobacter Argentina S.A. completed a $16.1 million public offering of series VI corporate bonds in the Argentine capital market. The capital raised adds to the financial strength required to support working capital needs in the coming quarters. MANAGEMENT REVIEW Mr. Federico Trucco, Chief Executive Officer of Bioceres, commenting on the Company’s performance, said, “We are thrilled to report the first fiscal quarter´s financial performance and show that the positive momentum observed in the last two quarters further accelerated in the reported period. I would like to congratulate our operations team for effectively implementing the new strategies in the Crop Protection and nutrition segments, resulting in today’s growth. We expect to see similar growth in the seeds and integrated products segment in the upcoming quarters, primarily as HB4 inventories are no longer contributed but sold as seed or grain. We are also taking this opportunity to announce the addition of ecotoxicological indexes to our ESG Reporting process for HB4 inventories, which we believe will set a new industry standard. Understanding the environmental impact of exposure to different active ingredients, the carbon intensity of production processes, and the water footprint of an agricultural ecosystem, are key elements in designing and promoting 21st century regenerative agriculture.” Mr. Enrique Lopez Lecube, Chief Financial Officer of Bioceres, said, “I am very pleased with the performance of our business throughout the last couple of quarters. This is the result of a well- considered move implemented to reignite growth in two of our three main business segments. The 2H21 growth momentum in the Crop Protection and nutrition segments was boosted this last quarter, as we were able to timely capture some macro tailwinds. The high commodity price environment and the supply shortage of nitrogen-based fertilizers, combined with increased sales force focus, delivered outstanding results in our micro-beaded fertilizer line. Reaching $50 million dollars in LTM Adjusted EBITDA, even when this metric includes pre-operational expenses related to HB4 as well as the transitory effect of a softer performance in the second quarter of the previous fiscal year, highlights the resilience of our baseline business and gives us great confidence going forward”.

REVIEW OF FISCAL FIRST QUARTER 2022 FINANCIAL RESULTS Comparable Revenues and Comparable Gross Profit are key operational metrics used by the management team to assess the Company's underlying financial and operating performance. The Company has introduced the term “Comparable” to reflect the result of a given metric excluding the impact of IAS 29. For comparison purposes, the impact of adopting IAS 29 is presented separately in each of the applicable sections of this earnings press release, in a column denominated “IAS 29”.

Revenue growth was the result of the recent reorganization strategy implemented in the Crop Protection segment to segregate commercial channels. Crop Nutrition was also a main contributor to growth throughout the quarter as a more aggressive commercial strategy in micro- beaded fertilizers continues to deliver positive results. Reported Revenues increased 58% to $66.9 million, a larger increase than in comparable revenues, due to a $2.1 million IAS29 adjustment in the first quarter of fiscal 2022 compared to a roughly neutral IAS29 impact in the first quarter of fiscal 2020.

5 Comparable Gross Profit increased 39% to $27.9 million on higher sales during the quarter. The total margin in sales decreased by 442 basis points to 43.1% explained by product mix, in which Crop Protection and Crop Nutrition growth outpaced performance in high-margin Seed and Integrated Products. Production costs dynamics in Argentina, where the main manufacturing hub is located, continued to have a negative impact in gross margins of dollar-linked businesses as the inflation rate affecting local currency denominated items outpaced depreciation of the Argentine Peso. Reported Gross Profit increased 51%, to $29.0 million. The increase in gross profit as reported was higher than the increase in comparable gross profit, following the same IAS 29 dynamics described for revenues. As reported gross margin decreased 204 bps to 43.2%. Operating Expenses Selling, General and Administrative expenses totaled $16.2 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2022, compared to $10.1 million during the first quarter of fiscal 2021. This was due mainly to an increase in variable expenses related to higher sales, the continued roll-out of the HB4 Program and unfavorable FX and inflation dynamics in Argentina, where a significant part of the Company´s support functions are located. SG&A pre-operational expenses related to HB4 during the quarter were $1.1 million, an expense item that did not exist in the previous fiscal year quarter. Employee salaries and social security costs, a semi-fixed expense, increased by $1.7 million. Variable sales- related tax, freight and haulage expenses - also affected by temporary global trade and logistics challenges - grew by $1.5 million, $1.2 million, respectively, in line with the growth in revenues during the quarter. Despite the year-over-year increase, total SG&A expenses remained almost flat as a percentage of revenue, at 24.2%. HB4 related expenses are to be counterbalanced by profits generated through contributed goods recognized once inventories built under the HB4 Program are sold as seed or grain. Research & Development expenses totaled $1.4 million during the quarter, compared to $1.0 million in the first quarter of Fiscal 2021. Approximately half of the R&D expenses in the quarter were related to the development of seeds and traits, including product registrations, as well as the Company’s pursuit of regulatory approvals of HB4 technology. The other half was related to the development of new bio fungicides and bio stimulants for seed treatment and foliar applications for wheat and soybean crops, including the filing of registration for these novel products in different geographies.

This increase was driven by Crop Protection and Crop Nutrition top line expansions, partially offset by the decrease in gross margin and increased Operating Expenses. Reported Gross Profit rose by $9.8 million, or a $7.9 million increase in Comparable Gross Profit and $1.9 million IAS 29 positive adjustments. Conversely, Operating Expenses and Other Income and Expenses during the quarter rose by $6.3 million and $1.2 million, respectively. The combination of both Operating Expenses and Other Income and Expenses, totaling an increase of $7.5 million, includes $1.9 million in pre- operational expenses related to HB4, $1.1 million accounted for in SG&A and $0.8 million included in other income and expenses. These pre-operational expenses are fully accounted for in Adjusted EBITDA, and therefore supported by the baseline business. Joint Venture results decreased by $0.5 million when compared to the first quarter of Fiscal 2021, mainly due to increased raw materials costs in Synertech, the Company’s micro-beaded fertilizer manufacturing JV.

Total other non-cash financial results in the first quarter of fiscal 2022 were negative $1.8 million, compared to negative $7.5 million in 1Q21. The improvement was due mainly to positive changes in fair value of financial assets or liabilities and others. 1 Net interest expenses from financial debt obligations, net of gains/losses from translation effects on Argentine Peso denominated loans held by Rizobacter as part of the Company´s financial hedging strategy, as well as financial commissions, are the main financial metrics that management uses to assess Bioceres’ cost of financing. Exchange rate differences, net gains/losses due to the inflation effect on monetary items, and Changes in fair value of financial assets or liabilities and others include items that are believed to have a limited impact on the underlying business, as a significant portion of both cash flows and financial debt obligations are linked to the US dollar.

Excludes impact of IAS29 as discussed in more detail on page 19. Comparable Revenues in the first quarter of fiscal 2022 totaled $34.3 million, a 58% increase from the year-ago quarter. Crop Protection global supply chain conditions provided tailwinds as product shortages drove prices higher and was further reinforced by sustained agricultural commodity prices. Reorganization of the commercial teams in the segment favored leveraging market momentum, with higher sales of third-party products and fungicides. Adjuvant volumes dropped compared to the year-ago quarter as dry weather conditions in key markets across South America delayed some product applications. Comparable Gross Profit in the first quarter of fiscal 2022 was $11.3 million, or 33.0% of total Crop Protection revenues. The 565 bps drop in gross margin for the segment was primarily due to a higher sales contribution from third-party products, detrimental to sales contribution from higher margin adjuvants.

Excludes impact of IAS29 as discussed in more detail on page 19. Comparable Revenues in the first quarter of fiscal 2022 were $8.7 million, remaining flat when compared to 1Q21. Seed packs volumes also remained flat in the first quarter as the high season for seed treatment solutions sales in South America begins. Sales contribution from the segment dropped from 20% to 13%, as Crop Protection and Crop Nutrition growth outpaced performance in Seed and Integrated Products. Comparable Gross Profit in the first quarter of fiscal 2022 was $5.5 million, or 62.9% of the total Seed and Integrated Products contribution to revenues. The 479 bps drop in gross margin was primarily due to the aforementioned inflation and FX dynamics negative impact in costs of goods manufactured in Argentina.

10 Comparable Revenues were $21.8 million, a strong 83% increase when compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2021. The expansion in the segment was mainly explained by continued growth of micro-beaded fertilizer sales, as the shift in the commercial strategy implemented during the third and fourth quarters of fiscal 2021 proved to be successful. Commodity fertilizers market conditions also played a role as product shortages resulting from China’s energy crisis and global logistics challenges translated into higher prices, favoring market penetration and further adoption of Bioceres´ high-tech specialty fertilizers. Throughout the quarter 30 new distributors incorporated different presentations of Microstar, Rizobacter´s main brand for micro-beaded fertilizers, to their products offerings. Installed capacity utilization rate on a trailing 12-month basis increased sequentially from 40% in June 2021, to 48%. Inoculant's sales were also higher during the quarter despite volumes remaining flat. This was due to a shift in the product mix from conventional to higher value inoculants, especially to Long-Life Inoculants (LLI), a Rizobacter proprietary technology. LLI has been gaining popularity amongst growers as its last generation microbial formulations ensures greater microorganism survival, greater nodular dry mass, and enhanced nitrogen fixation. Comparable Gross Profit in the first quarter of fiscal 2022 was $11.1 million, or 51.0% of total Crop Nutrition revenues. Despite higher participation of micro-beaded fertilizers in the segment mix, which have lower margins than inoculants, the overall segment gross margin increased by 189 bps. Positive market conditions and economies of scale from higher volumes favored sales expansion of micro-beaded fertilizers while maintaining gross margins for the category. Inoculants shift to higher margin LLI products further reinforced the gross margin evolution for the segment.

14 USE OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL INFORMATION To supplement our audited financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP, we have prepared certain non-GAAP measures that include or exclude special items. These non-GAAP measures are not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for financial information presented in accordance with GAAP and should be viewed as supplemental and in addition to our financial information presented in accordance with GAAP. Investors are cautioned that there are material limitations associated with the use of non-GAAP financial measures. In addition, other companies may report similarly titled measures, but calculate them differently, which reduces their usefulness as a comparative measure. Management utilizes these non-GAAP metrics as performance measures in evaluating and making operational decisions regarding our business. Non-IFRS Financial Information The Company supplements the use of IFRS financial measures with non-IFRS financial measures, including Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Net debt, Net interest expenses, Comparable revenues and Comparable gross profit which exclude the impact of IAS29 as explained below. The non-IFRS measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS and may be different from non-IFRS measures used by other companies. In addition, the non-IFRS measures are not based on any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles. Non-IFRS measures have limitations in that they do not reflect all of the amounts associated with our results of operations as determined in accordance with IFRS. This non-IFRS financial measures should only be used to evaluate the Company’s results of operations in conjunction with the most comparable IFRS financial measures. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as profit/(loss) exclusive of financial income/(costs), income tax benefit/(expense), depreciation, amortization, share-based compensation, inventory purchase allocation and one-time transactional expenses. Management believes that Adjusted EBITDA provides useful supplemental information to investors about the Company and its results. Adjusted EBITDA is among the measures used by the management team to evaluate the Company’s financial and operating performance and make day-to-day financial and operating decisions. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA and similarly titled measures are frequently used by competitors, rating agencies, securities analysts, investors and other parties to evaluate companies in the same industry. Management also believes that Adjusted EBITDA is helpful to investors because it provides additional information about trends in the Company’s core operating performance prior to considering the impact of capital structure, depreciation, amortization and taxation on results. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for other measures of financial performance reported in accordance with IFRS. Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, including: • Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect changes in, including cash requirements for working capital needs or contractual commitments;

GRAPHIC

15 • Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect financial expenses, or the cash requirements to service interest or principal payments on indebtedness, or interest income or other financial income; • Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect income tax expense or the cash requirements to pay income taxes; • Although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated or amortized often will need to be replaced in the future, and Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect any cash requirements for these replacements; • Although share-based compensation is a non-cash charge, Adjusted EBITDA does not consider the potentially dilutive impact of share-based compensation; and • Other companies may calculate Adjusted EBITDA and similarly titled measures differently, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure. The Company compensates for the inherent limitations associated with using Adjusted EBITDA through disclosure of these limitations, presentation in the combined financial statements in accordance with IFRS and reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to the most directly comparable IFRS measure, income/(loss) for the period or year. Comparable figures or figures ex-IAS 29 (Comparable revenue and Comparable gross margin) Comparable figures or figures ex-IAS 29 result from dividing nominal Argentine pesos for the Argentine operations by the average foreign exchange rate of the Argentine Peso against the US Dollar in the period. For comparison purposes, the impact of adopting IAS 29 is presented separately in each of the applicable sections of this earnings release, in a column denominated “IAS 29”. The IAS 29 17 adjustment results from the combined effect of: (i) the indexation to reflect changes in purchasing power on results against a dedicated line in the financial results, and (ii) the difference between the translation of results at the closing exchange rate of June 30, 2019, and the translation using the average year-to-date rate on the reported period, as applicable to non-inflationary economies. Net Debt and Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA Net debt is defined as the sum of long and short-term borrowings and finance payment from business combinations, less cash and cash equivalents and restricted short-term deposit. This measure is used by management and investment analysts and management believes it shows the financial strength of the Company. Management is consistently tracking the Company’s leverage position and its ability to repay and service the debt obligations over time. Therefore, management has set a leverage ratio target that is measured by net debt divided by Adjusted EBITDA. Net Interest Expenses Net interest expenses are defined as the sum of interest, other financial results and gains/losses from translation effects on Argentine Peso denominated loans held by Rizobacter Argentina. Gains/losses from translation effects on Argentine Peso denominated loans are part of the hedging activities conducted by the Company to manage cost of financing. Net interest expenses and financial commissions represent the main financial metrics that management uses to assess Bioceres’ cost of financing.

16 Application of IAS 29 Argentina has been classified as a hyperinflationary economy under the terms of IAS 29 beginning July 1, 2018. IAS 29 requires, adjusting all non-monetary items in the statement of financial position by applying a general price index from the day they were booked to the end of the reporting period. At the same time, it also requires that all items in the statement of income are expressed in terms of the measuring unit current at the end of the reporting period. Consequently, on a monthly basis, results of operations for each reporting period are measured in Argentine Pesos and adjusted for inflation by the applicable monthly inflation rate each month. All amounts need to be restated by applying the change in the general price index from the dates when the items of income and expenses were initially recorded in the financial statements. As a result, each monthly results of operations are readjusted each successive month to reflect changes in the monthly inflation rate. After the restatement explained above, IAS 21 “The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates”, addresses the way results must be translated under inflation accounting, stating that all amounts shall be translated at the closing rate at the date of the most recent statement of financial position. Accordingly, monthly results of operations in Argentine Pesos, after adjustment for inflation pursuant to IAS 29, as described above, must then be converted into U.S dollars at the closing exchange rate for such monthly reported period. This conversion changes every prior reported monthly statement of income in U.S dollars as each monthly amount is readjusted under IAS 29 for inflation per above and reconverted at different exchange rates for each monthly 18 reported period under IAS 21. As a result, the impact of monthly inflationary adjustments and monthly conversion adjustments vary the results of operation month to month until year end.
