Editor’s Note:

In recent years, natural disasters such as drought and waterlogging occur frequently. Climate warming has triggered various disasters that affect existence, which has brought unprecedented challenges to grain production, ecological environment and world peace maintenance. “Fen long” technology, the new method of farming invented by Wei Benhui, the Chinese inventor, can help to solve these problems in the world to a certain extent and make the human future better by multiple using “5 kinds of resources”, soil and its cubic natural rainfall, oxygen, temperature, humidity and solar energy.

In August 2021, the yield of highland barley in the saline-alkali soil, which was transformed by “smash-ridging” technology in Zangzhong Village, Zhaqi Town, Zhanang County, Shannan City, Tibet, China, the roof of the world, increased by 38.67%. The highland barley yield of smash ridging sand soil farmland in Kemai Community, Changzhu Township, Naidong District, increased by 1121.73 kg, with 25.43% of increase range, and the straw yield also increased by more than 20%. Peng Xinhua, the researcher of Nanjing Institute of Soil Science, Chinese Academy of Sciences has implemented smash-ridging sweet potato experiment in Jiangxi Province, and the result was that the yield increased by 89% to 117%. The maximum production increase of wheat of heavy coast saline-alkali soil in Dongying City, Shandong Province was 154.22% after being transformed by “smash-ridging” technology. The production increase of cotton of heavy saline-alkali soil in Yuli County, Xinjiang Autonomous Region was yet 81.17% in the fourth year after being transformed by “smash-ridging” technology. Over the past decade, “smash-ridging” technology was applied to nearly 50 kinds of crops such as rice, corn and wheat in 28 provinces such as Guangxi and Xinjiang, and no more rich water, pesticide or other production costs was required while the production increase was generally 10% to 50%, the quality was improved by 5% and the increase production in saline-alkali soil was 20% to 100% after transformation. Experts estimated that, the natural disaster such as waterlogging, drought, high temperature and low temperature may be reduced by more than 20%, and soil environment improvement,and crop biomass increase will reduce carbon by more than 10% and increase  ground air humidity by 10%.

Invented by Wei Benhui from Guangxi Academy of Agricultural Sciences, “smash-ridging” technology is a major new method of farming, which can realize a new round of production increase, quality improvement, water conservation, disaster reduction, carbon reduction and sustainable development of agriculture and contribute to widen the space of human existence and development.

In March 2021, “smash-ridging” technology was shown on the world’s No. 1 screen in Times Square, which stated that the smash ridging agricultural machinery and smash ridging farming that would not mess the soil layers for ultra deep ploughing had broken through worldwide problems such as “physical” production increase of agriculture and physical transformation of saline-alkali soil. “Smash-ridging” technology which has shocked the world is common technology, common welfare and common wealth of all mankind.

The advert of “smash-ridging” technology marks that the world has ushered in a very rare new agricultural revolution. The technology is simple, widely applied and sustainable for hundreds of years. It has realized increase of grain production and decrease of disaster to benefit human being.

1. Creating subversive fifth farming mode, which is worldwide used

“Smash-ridging” technology is named after vertical burying, high-speed rotary-cut smash soil, ridge and suspend by using spiral, hollow and other “drill” farming tools invented by Wei Benhui, instead of the “plow” which has been used for 5,500 years. “Smash-ridging” technology has become the fifth efficient farming mode after slash-and-burn cultivation, man power, animal power and tractor ploughing in the history of human farming. “Smash-ridging” technology structured “smash-ridging agriculture” technology system that matches smash-ridging agricultural machinery, smash-ridging farming and smash-ridging cultivation and overturned traditional farming way and agricultural production technical philosophy by using the scientific concept of “ultra deep ploughing and deep loosening the soil without messing the soil layers”. The worldwide universal technology expands the space for human existence and development, and its scientific connotation and characteristics are as below:

First of all, fully excavate natural resource utilization that the earth feeds human being. With 5 kinds of natural resources, soil, the grain producer which the mankind survives on, natural rainfall, oxygen, temperature and humidity and solar energy, once more multiple positive utilization can be realized on the basis of existent farming and agricultural utilization to promote a new round of agricultural production increase, quality improvement, water conservation, disaster reduction, carbon drop and sustainable development.

Secondly, trigger deepening utilization of the surface soil of earth with a light force. Loosened soil increases several times over., and most of soil is granular, and granular structure surface is smooth. Unit weight decreases by 10% to 20%, and available nutrient increases by 10% to 30%. Basic fertility improves by 10% to 30%, and applying quantity of chemical fertilizer for planting crop can reduce by more than 10%.

Thirdly, create cultivated land reservoir with loosened soil and expanded volume. Natural rainfall reserves approximately double, which provides conditions for human being to utilize rainwater and snow water again. Soil porosity enlarges approximately and oxygen increase approximately by one time. Soil microbial community and quantity increase by almost multiple times.

Fourthly, create soil ecological environment that is suitable for crop growth. Smash ridging cultivation requires soil ecological environment with balanced water, fertilizer, gas and heat. The crop takes roots in the earlier stage, strengthens in the medium stage and becomes powerful in the later stage. It features production increase and quality improvement with resistant to drought, high and low temperature. The root system is particularly developed with fibrous root increasing and activity strengthening. The photosynthetic efficiency improves by 10% to 30%, and the stress resistance such as drought and high and low temperature improves by approximately 20%, while  biomass increases by 20% to 30%.

Fifthly, create suitable environment for crops based on ecological conditions in which high agricultural yield is still available and consumption of agricultural “chemicals” is achievable even the consumption of fertilizer and pesticide can be reduced by more than 10% and some plastic mulch can be reduced. Some of polluted soil can be “purified itself”. For example, reduction of heavy metal pollution (reduction of cadmium content of rice) is a physical effect that other chemical means can hardly match.

Sixthly, realize no ecological area or crop variety limit. Almost all crops and some traditional Chinese medicinal materials in rice field, dry land and even saline-alkali soil can be applied to from Hainan Province at low latitude (18°N) to Xinjiang and Heilongjiang at high latitude (45° to 50°N), from Beihai of Guangxi at low altitude (10 to 15 metres) to Shigatse of Tibet at high altitude (over 4,000 metres), which indicates that there is no obvious limit on ecological area or crop variety, and it can be generally used in the world.

2. Application in China’s cultivated land and saline-alkali soil in 2021, with outstanding results

Test on smash ridging has been implemented in many places of China, and the result showed that comparing with traditional cultivation, the yield of rice increased by 15.5%, that of corn increased by 12.26%, and that of peanut increased by 8.05% with no fertilization.

“Smash ridging” technology has been applied to 50 kinds of crops such as rice, corn, wheat and potato in 28 provinces all over China for more than a decade, and production increase achieved 10% to 50%, and production increase in saline-alkali soil after being transformed achieved 20% to 100% with no increasing fertilization or irrigation volume. There are many cases of production increase in various places. In Yuanjiang City of Hunan Province, yield of smash ridging rice increased by 26.5% in that year, and it still increased by 12% in the fourth year after the first smash ridging cultivation. The yield of smash ridging wheat in Fuping, Shaanxi Province increased by 29.9%, and that of the second crop of corn increased by 34.89%. The average production increase of rained farming sugarcane was 32.5%.

In 2021, the cases of production increase with “smash-ridging” technology occurred frequently, and the results are outstanding.

Firstly, rice production continuously increases with “smash-ridging” technology. Yaoguao Town, Longhui County, Hunan Province used to be the breakthrough point where Academician Yuan Longping’s hybrid rice yields reached 900 kg per mu. In April 2014, “smash-ridging” cultivation was implemented, and the yield of hybrid rice increased by 25% in that year. It has been the 8th year since “smash ridging” technology was implemented, but the yield of hybrid rice is expected to increase by 10% or so. The yield of second crop of rice after rice smash ridging was implemented in Yongan Village, Shifu Town, Nanning City, Guangxi Autonomous Region increased by 9.5%.

Secondly, smash ridging water conservation and continuous high yield lasted for many years. In 2021, the third year after “smash-ridging” technology was implemented in Yanshan, Cangzhou City, Hebei Province, the yield of wheat with water conservation increased by 18% with irrigation reduction by nearly 2,000 cubic metres per hectare. In 2021, the sixth year after “smash-ridging” technology was implemented in Fanjiazhai Village, Guyang Town, Lankao County, Henan Province, the yield of wheat increased by 10.3%.

Thirdly, “smash-ridging” agriculture and saline alkali soil transformation in highland region. As previous statement, the yield of highland barley of saline alkali soil in Tibet, the roof of the world, increased by 38.67%, that of highland barley of sand soil cultivated land with “smash-ridging” technology increased by 25.43%, that of highland barley straw increased by more than 20%, which can effectively solve the problem of lack of grain and feed in Tibet.

Fourthly, the history of high yield of sugarcane in a large area with “smash-ridging” technology was made. “Smash-ridging” technology “145” demonstration base for planting sugarcane was built in Guangxi Academy of Agricultural Sciences. On March 6, 2021, upon experts’ acceptance, it increased by 38.3% than conventional cultivation. “Smash-ridging” technology “145” demonstration in Binyang of Guangxi, is expected to make history of green ecological high yield of sugarcane in a large area with entire mechanization to bring a sample for China’s and the world’s sugarcane planting technology.

3. Increasing grain yield and decreasing disaster by conforming to the nature, and all the mankind getting a better future

The best living quality and survival and development environment with abundant and tasteful food, fresh air and visible blue sky and cloud are mankind’s good wishes.

The earth is endowed with 5 kinds of inexhaustible natural resources, soil and its stereoscopic spatial natural rainfall, oxygen, temperature and humidity and solar energy. Soil is the “producer” of grain and other agricultural products the human being survives on and the “regulator” of natural environment to relieve drought, waterlogging and other natural disasters. In order to realize the above dreams, human being has to profoundly comprehend and properly utilize the “5 kinds of natural resources”, which is the fundamental obedience to the rules of resource utilization for mankind’s survival. For a country, the more proper utilization rate of “the 5 kinds of natural resources” of the stereoscopic space, the more secure grain and ecology in the country, the more fortunate of national life, which is also in this way for all the world and all the mankind.

The core of “smash-ridging” technology is to multiply sound utilization of the above “5 kinds of natural resources”. Its pioneering scientific contribution is based on the principle of “ultra deep cultivation and deep loosening (by utilizing the soil resources of plough sole which human being has not utilized yet), loosening soil at original site, granular soil, once off completion of soil preparation., and no tillage or light tillage for conservation tillage for years”. Meanwhile, “smash-ridging” technology is almost applied to various land resources including cultivated land and saline alkali soil so that agricultural available resources have expanded substantially. Furthermore, yield increase can be maintained with properly reducing fertilization. Additionally, it is easy to popularize and apply, and it is merely to replace tractor “plough” cultivation with smash ridging “drill”. Rice field is 25 cm deep, and dry land is 35 cm deep, and saline alkali soil is 40 cm deep. Expected effect is achievable with no excessive input or technical instruction required.

Wei Benhui said that invention of spiral and hollow “drill” tillage implements would certainly bring a major change of tillage implements and modernization of series products of smash ridging agricultural machinery equipment. The world will usher in great new times of “smash-ridging agriculture”.

According to expert’s estimates, if 1 billion mu of farmland and 300 million saline alkali land are cultivated in China, 130 billion kg of grain can be increased every year and 300 to 400 million more people can be fed. If land “smash-ridging” technology is implemented in 50% of farmland in the world, yield of grain can be increased and more people can be fed.

With “smash-ridging” technology, 40 to 50 cubic metres of natural rainfall reserve can be increased for cultivated land per mu, and drought, waterlogging and other disasters can be reduced. Recently, heavy waterlogging occurred in Henan Province. Because light tillage is carried out in most of cultivate land (most of loosened soil of plough layer is 12 to 15 cm), the soil of button layer is compacted and moves upward due to rolling by tractor wheels for years. Adding the road extension and ground hardening in the villages, there is no more place for water reservation. If “smash ridging” technology is implemented in half of cultivated land, such affect of rainstorm can be reduced greatly. Also, with improving smash ridging soil environment and significant increasing crop biomass, the goals including carbon reduction, peak carbon dioxide emissions and carbon neutralization can be achieved early, and global warming can be relived greatly.

“Smash-ridging agriculture” and its entire production technology system invented and created by Wei Benhui have surpassed the existent agricultural production mode and have been affirmed and supported by Yuan Longping and other more than 10 Chinese academicians. The technology system has been practiced to almost all crop varieties from low latitude to high latitude and from low altitude to high altitude. It can be popularized globally and is expected to be a new mainstream technology in the world to lead the trend of agricultural cultivation development. The future will be better for all mankind.

Through this transaction, Nocera is establishing a position within the energy infrastructure underpinning the global AI build-out, positioning the Company at the convergence of two of today’s most compelling long-term growth markets: artificial intelligence and mission-critical energy infrastructure.

Nocera’s Role and Growth Strategy for INERGX

Nocera intends to serve as an active strategic partner to INERGX, leveraging the capital markets expertise, public-company experience, acquisition-sourcing capabilities and international relationships that sit at the core of the Nocera Holdings strategy. Management believes these capabilities can help accelerate INERGX’s buy-and-build strategy, broaden access to growth capital, strengthen strategic partnerships and support the commercialization and long-term expansion of its integrated platform across multiple high-growth end markets.

Specifically, Nocera expects to support INERGX by contributing capital markets and financing expertise to assist with platform expansion and future acquisitions; leveraging Nocera’s public-company infrastructure, governance and disclosure experience as INERGX continues to mature; utilizing its acquisition-sourcing network and international relationships to identify strategic opportunities; and providing operational and strategic guidance designed to help institutionalize the platform as it scales.

Management believes the INERGX investment represents the blueprint for the type of long-term value Nocera Holdings intends to create across its portfolio by identifying differentiated technology businesses positioned within powerful secular growth trends and helping accelerate their development through strategic capital, public-market expertise and disciplined execution. The Company believes combining emerging technology platforms with strategic capital allocation, operational support and public-market resources can create meaningful long-term shareholder value while expanding Nocera Holdings’ presence across multiple high-growth industries.

“Artificial intelligence cannot scale without power, and we believe energy infrastructure will become one of the defining investment themes of this decade,” said Andy Jin, Chief Executive Officer of Nocera. “INERGX represents exactly the type of platform our transformation into Nocera Holdings was designed to pursue. Our objective extends well beyond making an investment—we intend to help build a category-leading business by contributing our capital markets expertise, acquisition experience and public-company capabilities while supporting INERGX’s buy-and-build strategy. We believe this investment represents another important step in positioning Nocera at the center of the technologies enabling the next generation of AI, critical infrastructure and industrial innovation. At the same time, we continue to actively evaluate additional acquisitions, strategic investments and partnerships that align with our vision of building a diversified global technology holding company focused on creating long-term shareholder value.”

About the INERGX Platform

INERGX is being built to address one of the most pressing challenges facing organizations operating in increasingly power-constrained environments: the ability to design, build, deploy and manage mission-critical energy systems through a single integrated partner rather than relying on multiple point-solution providers. The platform is being developed as a vertically integrated, chemistry- and power-agnostic ecosystem that combines battery technology and intellectual property, system assembly, testing and certification, AI-driven battery management and monitoring software, recycling and repowering capabilities, with each component designed to reinforce the next while delivering a comprehensive end-to-end solution.

Unlike traditional equipment providers, INERGX’s commercial model is designed to create value well beyond the initial hardware sale. The platform is intended to use hardware deployments as the customer entry point while generating recurring revenue opportunities throughout each system’s lifecycle through optimization, monitoring, predictive maintenance, servicing, uninterrupted power solutions and periodic repowering. Management believes this lifecycle approach creates the potential for durable customer relationships and recurring revenue streams while positioning INERGX to capitalize on the rapidly growing demand for intelligent energy infrastructure.

INERGX is assembling this platform through an active buy-and-build acquisition strategy targeting complementary technologies, intellectual property and operating businesses across the energy value chain. The Company is focused on serving mission-critical end markets including AI and hyperscale data centers, industrial and mining operations, defense applications, renewable energy infrastructure and other sectors where reliable, intelligent power systems are becoming increasingly essential.

“The market no longer wants point solutions—it wants a trusted partner capable of designing, building, deploying and managing mission-critical power infrastructure from end to end,” said Dominic White, Founder of INERGX. “That is precisely the platform we are building. As artificial intelligence continues to reshape industries around the world, dependable energy infrastructure is becoming increasingly mission-critical. Nocera’s capital markets expertise, public-company experience and strategic growth capabilities make them an ideal long-term partner as we execute our acquisition strategy, expand our platform and pursue the significant opportunities emerging across AI infrastructure, defense and industrial energy markets.”

Market Backdrop

The investment comes as reliable power rapidly emerges as one of the defining constraints on the global expansion of artificial intelligence. Hyperscale AI deployments, accelerated data-center development and increasing electrification across industry are driving unprecedented investment in the energy infrastructure required to support next-generation computing workloads. As AI adoption continues to accelerate, management believes the ability to deliver resilient, scalable and intelligent power solutions will become increasingly valuable across both public and private sector markets.

According to McKinsey & Company, global AI infrastructure spending is projected to approach $7 trillion by 2030, with more than $5 trillion expected to be invested directly into AI workload infrastructure. Meanwhile, the International Energy Agency projects global data-center electricity demand will more than double to approximately 945 terawatt-hours by 2030—roughly equivalent to the entire annual electricity consumption of Japan. Management believes these powerful long-term trends are creating significant demand for intelligent, mission-critical power and battery energy-storage platforms such as INERGX, reinforcing the strategic rationale behind Nocera’s investment and its continued expansion into the infrastructure enabling the global AI economy.

Management believes the INERGX investment represents another meaningful step in Nocera’s ongoing evolution into Nocera Holdings. The Company continues to actively evaluate additional acquisitions, strategic partnerships and investments across artificial intelligence, AI infrastructure, data centers, robotics, biotechnology, blockchain, digital assets and other emerging technology sectors as it executes its long-term strategy of building a diversified global technology holding company.

Gerard McMann Expands Canadian Investor Education Programme with Market Insights and Retirement Planning

Published

10 hours ago

on

July 8, 2026

By

Montreal, Canada, July 8th, 2026, FinanceWire

The Montreal-based trading platform is broadening its commitment to Canadian investors with a suite of new educational tools, updated market analysis resources, and enhanced retirement account guidance designed to serve both first-time and experienced traders across the country.

Gerard McMann, the AI-powered financial trading and investment platform operating out of Montreal, Quebec, has announced a significant expansion of its investor education and market resources programme for the Canadian market. The initiative reflects a growing demand from the firm’s Canadian client base for structured, accessible learning tools that complement the platform’s existing trading infrastructure.

The expansion adds dedicated sections to the Gerard McMann broker Canada offering, covering retirement account planning, compound interest modelling, cryptocurrency fundamentals, and multi-asset portfolio construction. Each resource has been developed with both newer investors and seasoned traders in mind, recognising that the Canadian market spans a wide range of experience levels and financial goals.

“Canadian investors deserve the same depth of resources and platform capability that institutional clients take for granted. That is the standard we are building toward.” Press Release responsable, Laura Hughes commented.

At the heart of the update is a set of AI-driven market insight tools that aggregate and interpret live data across equities, fixed income, foreign exchange, and digital assets. Rather than delivering raw data feeds, the tools are designed to surface context: why a market is moving, what historical patterns are relevant, and what variables are worth tracking for a given asset class. For Canadian investors navigating cross-border exposure between TSX-listed securities and US-listed instruments, the contextual layer adds a dimension that standard brokerage platforms do not typically provide.

Retirement Planning at the Centre of the Canadian Expansion

One of the most substantial additions to the Gerard McMann Canada offering is an expanded retirement accounts section, covering individual retirement accounts with tax-deductible contribution structures. The section includes a rebuilt compound calculator that allows users to model different contribution scenarios over time, incorporating variable return assumptions and adjustable contribution frequencies.

Retirement planning has historically been underserved by online trading platforms, which tend to focus on active traders rather than on the longer-horizon investor building toward a specific financial outcome. Gerard McMann’s decision to expand this area reflects feedback gathered from its Canadian user base, where demand for structured retirement guidance has grown alongside broader awareness of the limitations of state pension provision.

Gerard McMann Canada reviews collected from active users over the past twelve months have repeatedly highlighted the retirement account tools as a differentiating factor. Clients note that the combination of a capable trading platform with meaningful long-term planning resources is not something they had found elsewhere before making the switch.

“The most consistent piece of feedback we receive from Canadian clients is that they wanted a platform that took their long-term goals as seriously as their short-term trades.” Laura states.

Platform Infrastructure Supporting the Expansion

The educational resources sit on top of a trading infrastructure that supports more than 90 order types, spanning limit and market orders through to complex algorithmic strategies. Real-time trade confirmations, margin calculations, and portfolio assessment tools are available across web, mobile, and desktop environments, giving Canadian investors access to institutional-grade execution regardless of how or where they choose to trade.

Client securities accounts at Gerard McMann are protected. These protections apply in the event of broker-dealer failure and are independent of market conditions.

The platform’s existing infrastructure already supports clients across multiple asset classes, including equities, options, futures, foreign currencies, fixed income securities, and cryptocurrency. The July 2026 expansion does not alter the underlying trading engine but adds a resource layer that the company believes will improve outcomes for Canadian investors who arrive at the platform with clear goals but limited prior experience.

Platform Updates for Canadian Clients

For prospective clients evaluating Gerard McMann as a broker Canada option, the updated platform offers a starting point through the Gerard McMann Basics section, which has been revised to include Canadian-specific regulatory context and tax considerations. Platform tutorials have been updated to reflect the current interface, and a new series of investment concept guides covers topics including asset allocation, currency risk for cross-border portfolios, and the mechanics of dividend reinvestment.

Client onboarding follows a structured process: account registration, identity verification, account funding, and access to the full platform, including research tools and educational content. The company’s Canadian support line operates alongside its international contacts and is staffed by advisers familiar with the specific questions Canadian investors typically bring to a first consultation.

The expansion is live as of July 2026 and available to all new and existing Gerard McMann clients with Canadian accounts.

About Gerard McMann

Yellow Stone Finance Group Launches Performance-Focused CFD Trading Platform for Forex, Metals and Global Indices

Published

10 hours ago

on

July 8, 2026

By

London, UK, July 8th, 2026, FinanceWire

Yellow Stone Finance Group Ltd. has rolled out a trading platform built around three things retail and active traders consistently ask for: tighter spreads, faster execution, and access to a wider spread of markets from a single account.

The platform, available now at yellowstone-financial.com, gives traders exposure to more than 10,000 instruments across forex, shares, metals, indices, commodities and crypto CFDs all routed through the same account, the same margin pool and the same pricing engine.

For a company operating in the forex and CFD space, where execution speed and pricing transparency are often the deciding factor between brokers, Yellow Stone is leaning into both. The firm’s matching engine targets average execution speeds of around 40 milliseconds, with raw ECN pricing pulled from a pool of more than 25 tier-1 liquidity providers the kind of infrastructure more commonly associated with institutional desks than retail-facing brokers.

“Most traders don’t switch brokers because of one big problem they switch because of a dozen small frictions that add up: a slow fill here, a wider-than-expected spread there, a platform that doesn’t quite keep pace with how they actually trade,” a Yellow Stone spokesperson said. “We built this platform around removing those frictions rather than adding more bells and whistles on top of them.” Karsten Ziegler, Press Release Responsable states.

That focus shows up in how client funds are handled as well. Yellow Stone holds all client deposits in segregated accounts with tier-1 UK and EU banks, kept entirely separate from the company’s own operating funds. Retail clients also benefit from negative balance protection, meaning that even in fast-moving conditions a weekend gap or a sudden re-pricing an account cannot lose more than the equity it holds. The company also publishes quarterly best-execution reports covering average spreads, fill rates and slippage, a level of disclosure that isn’t standard practice across the industry.

Traders can access the markets through Yellow Stone’s browser-based WebTrader, native iOS and Android apps, or via REST and FIX 4.4 API connectivity for those running systematic or algorithmic strategies. Spreads on major forex pairs start from 0.0 pips, and accounts can typically be opened and funded in under five minutes, with deposit options spanning major cards, PayPal, Stripe, Wise and Bitcoin.

Whether someone is trading currency pairs around economic data releases, hedging commodity exposure, or running an automated strategy through the API, the underlying pitch is the same: one account, deep liquidity, and infrastructure that doesn’t get in the way of the trade.

About Yellow Stone Finance Group Ltd

Yellow Stone Finance Group Ltd is a UK-registered CFD broker offering trading across forex, shares, metals, indices, commodities and crypto markets through its WebTrader platform, mobile apps and API access. The company is headquartered in London, England, and focuses on execution quality, pricing transparency and segregated client fund protection.
