VANCOUVER and REHOVOT, Israel, July 8, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- BioHarvest Sciences Inc. ("BioHarvest" or the "Company") (CSE: BHSC) announces today that Q2/2021 sales orders in Israel have reached US $409,272 compared to US $371,944 in Q1/2021 and compared to US $44,600 in Q2/2020. These results represent a 10% increase over the previous quarter in 2021 and an 840% increase over the corresponding quarter in 2020. In Q2, the customer count grew by 5% compared to Q1 2021, and the average sale per customer reached US $182, representing an increase of 5% compared to Q1 2021.
In the USA, the direct-to-consumer launch is off to a very encouraging start.

The Company has recently accomplished a number of major milestones as part of its journey to unlock the secrets of plant biology and to commercialize its cannabis-based products in 1H 2022.
- First, BioHarvest announced its progress in optimizing the density of Trichomes, refining the drying process, and creating new measurement methods. (News Release dated June 8, 2021).
- In addition, the Company announced that its first Cannabis cell reservoir has now been continuously producing Cannabis Trichomes for two full calendar years. (News Release dated July 7, 2021). Watch CEO Ilan Sobel discuss the July 7 news release with Proactive Investors here.
These technological breakthroughs demonstrate the efficiency and reliability of the Company's BioFarming technology to produce the "flowering" stage of the Cannabis growth cycle at scale.
Ilan Sobel, CEO of BioHarvest, commented: "As a biotech innovator, our goal is to bring the benefits of our BioFarming platform technology to multiple verticals and geographies. The acceptance of VINIA®, as manifested in the stellar quarter sales orders in Israel and the encouraging performance metrics in the US, are important indicators of the prospects of the Company in general and, specifically, of the broad applicability of the Company's BioFarming technology platform. I am excited about the prospects of Bioharvest, given the opportunities stemming from our pipeline of BioFarming based nutraceutical and Cannabis products. I look forward to another record quarter for Q3."
