No, but it makes it pricier. In case you don't know:
"Fungible describes goods, assets, or commodities that are mutually interchangeable, meaning one unit is equivalent to another of the same type and value.

mind you, the hormuz fertilizer and the canadian fertilizer arent interchangeable.
they are two parts of a three part whole.
they arent perfectly fungible either - the core nitrogen, potassium, and phosphorus can come in many forms, and need some chemical processing to get into the right shape for use

"Fungible" here means "traded globally", as others have noted elsewhere in this thread.
