The Advantages of

Our Approach

(examples of producers of legacy synthetic chemicals)

GRACE BREEDING'S GREEN AGRO SOLUTIONS

  • Climate stress resilience enhancement
  • Biological source
  • Nitrogenous technology
  • Yield and quality
  • Profitability
  • Tolerance
  • Provides ESG benefits to farmer

OTHER UNSUSTAINABLE COMPANIES

  • Environmental pollution
  • Environmental residue
  • Resistance formed by crops
  • Air pollution
  • Water source contamination
  • Higher priced

Over the last 20 years the investment in R&D expenditure of the conventional crop protection market has shifted

B2B Strategy Supports Core Environmental and Sustainability Pillars

Please change to similar slide background as the rest of the deck Our B2B business model produces more robust and resilient industrial crops and improves distributor and farmer economics, while importantly, supporting ESG initiatives - responsibly reducing environmental impact with a lower carbon-footprint and lower greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.

Environmental Pillar of ESG Climate Change Natural Resources Pollution & Waste Environmental Opportunity

Reporting Leaders at the United Nation's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) presented on 3/20/23 an Acceleration Agenda for developed countries to achieve zero emissions approaching 2030.

* The 8 elements are: Carbon emissions, water stress, toxi emissions & waste, product carbon footprint, biodiversity & land use, packaging material and waste, raw material sourcing, climate change vulnerability

Bio-Fertilizer: NFT business model

NFT Benefits:

Reduce reliance on synthetic nitrogen by 50% (Corn/Maize)

Reduce carbon emissions to earn carbon credits (Corn/Maize) 2 3

Increase nutrient availability (Soybean)

Business models:

1. Direct

Product benefits Flexibility to deal directly to farmer or through a dealer

2. In-direct

Earn Carbon Credits Farmland owners potentially move to farming carbon credits

Climate Change May Cause Corn Yields to Fall;

A NASA study forecasts climate change to affect corn and wheat production as early as 2030.

With higher temperatures and surface CO2 concentrations as well as rainfall pattern changes, corn yields could fall by 24% from current levels

Farmland Owners May Move to Farming Carbon Credits

Our Technology: How We Are Differentiated Within the AgTech Industry

Disrupting a multi-billion-dollar industry* with solutions to fertilize sustainably and enable crop tolerance and vigor

Proprietary IP solutions that result from years of research evaluating a thousand biological molecules and their combinations with non-pathogenic bacteria

NFT (Proprietary Bio-Fertilizer)

The Problem: The Use of Urea is Not Sustainable

  • Urea (Nitrogen), is the most common fertilizer in agriculture worldwide
  • 1MT of urea production in the U.S. = 1.84 MT of gas emissions (CO2 )
  • Global production of urea = CO2 emissions of 120 million cars annually!

United Nations Climate Change Global Climate Action Summit 2021 . Nitrogenous Fertilizer Market Size | Global Industry Report, 2026. **World Fertilizer Market Nitrogen, No. 42 (418) 21 October 2021

The Solution: NFT

Naturally provides nitrogen to crops in synergy with available bacteria; reduction of 50% in use of urea

Farmer cost savings expected per:

  • Reduced volume and dose per Ha. (1:25)
  • Reduced application frequency

Environmentally-friendly to air, soil and the aquifer

Carbon credit:

  • NFT use in corn reduce carbon emission
  • Low-carbon-footprint-product with ESG benefits
  • 1 Tone CO2 = 1 Carbon credit

In field trials, NFT demonstrated it was as efficient as and competitive with urea, suggesting it may be an ideal potential replacement

Distributor higher profit. Lower volume equals to less storage footprint & land transportation costs and margins higher than the standard 2-3%

NFT Field Trial Results

Brazilian Study Results in corn seeds treated with NFT (UEL, January 2023)

  • Potential reduction of more than 50% of nitrogen in corn cultivation.
  • Reduced carbon emissions
  • Outperforms standard nitrogen fertilizers in almost all parameters

Wheat trials results Sept 2022 (Israel)

NFT boosted grain yield and quality

  • 18% yield increase
  • 16% biomass increase

NFT Comparison to Urea in Maize (Corn)

NFT amount applied per Ha.* – 20 L

Urea amount applied per Ha. – 500 kg

✓ Easy application method in the field. Watch video here.

✓ Farmer keeps similar agrotechnical tools and methodologies

* Reduction of 50% in use of urea

The company intends to start conducting field experiments and observations for marketing and sales around the world.

Brazil: Our First Strategic Market is An Agricultural Market Leader

  • With 42 million Ha. of soybean and 22 million Ha. of maize (corn), Brazil is one of the largest agricultural markets in the world.
  • Brazil is the largest agricultural chemical market in the world, with a turnover of 13 billion USD.
  • Brazil is a major importer of fertilizers: 95% of the urea used in corn and 75% of the phosphorus used in corn and soybeans is imported.
  • 23% of Brazil's annual imported fertilizers are from Russia.
  • Russia is planning to impose an export tax of 23.5% on all fertilizers.
  • The market of biological products grew 40% this last year in Brazil.
  • Grace Breeding announced a strategic R&D collaboration with the University of Londrina (UEL), based in Paraná State, Brazil (11/2022).

Geopolitical changes - Brazil is Forecasted to Surpass the U.S. in Corn Exportation

First shipment of Brazilian corn to China occurred in November 2022, after Phytosanitary agreement signed between the countries

In the 2021-2022 marketing year, the primary destinations of Brazilian corn were Iran, Spain, Japan, Egypt & Colombia

Brazil is #1 in Biological Control Products Adoption and Bio-fertilizers Adoption
