The comment clearly doesn't make any sense, fertilizer or not. It's a tautological explanation of the sort "they're poor because they don't have enough money", just rephrased a bit to look less ridiculous. I honestly regretted even having read another foreign policy thread on HN after seeing something like that upvoted to the top once again. Must remember to stay out of anything non-tech related.
