WHO WE ARE

Pioneers of Sustainable Agriculture

We are a leading company in research, development, and commercialization of innovative solutions for sustainable agriculture around the world.

Our Group

Rizobacter is an integral member of the Bioceres family, a renowned global leader in agri-innovation listed on NASDAQ.

In 2022, Bioceres acquired Marrone Bio. This acquisition resulted in the merger of Rizobacter and Marrone (now ProFarm), combining their portfolios and commercial structures.

Bioceres is Latin America’s flagship group in the ag-biotech space, advancing the life sciences ecosystem by investing in high-impact technologies and science-based companies.

HB4 is the only technology in the world with drought tolerance for soybean and wheat crops.

ProFarm was created on July, 2022, when Marrone Bio Innovations and Pro Farm Technologies merged with Bioceres Crop Solutions. The newly formed organization creates the largest global biological crop solutions portfolio for growers of all crops and geographies. Our products span from crop protection and crop nutrition to crop health.
