Hakuho is working on a project to cultivate
in Mongolia a strain of rice that grows in Hokkaido Island, where he lives and which
has climatic conditions similar to those here. He has already visited Mongolia with
officials from there to study the possibilities of cultivating the rice in all
parts of Mongolia. If it is found feasible, Hakuho will arrange for bringing
the technology here and to train Mongolian farming professionals in Japan.

 The
project has been named Hakuho and the rice strain will also bear the name of
the yokozuna in Sumo.
