leverage
In this case, to leverage means to use something you have in an advantageous way. To use something for gain. To capitalize on something or cash in on something. Mr. Shibata asked about leveraging the company’s technological expertise to realize the full potential of rice, meaning to use or harness that technological expertise as an advantage over others.
core competency
A core competency involves a company’s skill or resource, that allows it to be competitive. But it could also be used to create other products or services. Dr. Juneja believes his company’s main core competency is that they are the best in the world when it comes to Rice Crockers. This core competency can be used as an advantage over other companies, as well as a resource for potential new products.
