About Inner Mongolia Xiaocao Digital Ecological Industry

Inner Mongolia Xiaocao Digital Ecological Industry is a subsidiary of M-Grass Ecology and Environment (Group) Co., Ltd., a publicly traded company focusing on grass seed technology and ecological restoration. The parent company, M-Grass, was founded on June 12, 2001, by Wang Zhaoming and listed on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange on September 27, 2012. Wang, who serves as the chairman and lead researcher, has a background from Inner Mongolia Agricultural University and has established a significant germplasm resource bank for native prairie plants.

The company operates at the intersection of digital technology and ecological science, providing data-driven solutions for environmental management. Its core business involves developing and maintaining ecological big data platforms for sectors such as agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry, and mining. This is part of M-Grass's broader mission to use native plants to restore ecosystems, leveraging what it calls "ecological big data" to guide its restoration projects. The business model centers on providing customized, technology-based environmental solutions. For instance, the company develops digital platforms for specific ecological industries and plans and implements digital ecological centers and parks. The parent company, M-Grass, generates revenue from these ecological restoration projects, which include grassland and mine restoration, desertification control, and saline-alkali land improvement. Its clients range from government bodies involved in large-scale environmental projects, like the Yellow River Ecological Belt, to corporate entities such as energy companies.

The company's key offering is its specialized data platforms and digital systems that support ecological restoration. M-Grass has created a comprehensive "nursery-cultivation-propagation-promotion" industrial system. This system is built upon a vast collection of natural resources, including over 2,300 species of germplasm resources, 170,000 specimen samples, and 1.65 million soil samples. Utilizing this data, the company develops customized products like "seed packages, seed ropes, and seed cups/blocks" that contain a mix of seeds, water-retaining agents, organic fertilizers, and microbial fertilizers tailored to the specific environmental data of a restoration site. This data-first approach allows for precise, site-specific solutions for a variety of ecological challenges, including projects for sports turf, urban green spaces, and large-scale desert control.
