Hmm, what does that mean? Just from the quote, it's hard to understand.

Here's a dictionary definition of "commodity"

1: an economic good: as a: a product of agriculture or mining b: an article of commerce especially when delivered for shipment c: a mass-produced unspecialized product
2 a: something useful or valued ; also : thing , entity b: convenience , advantage
3obsolete : quantity , lot
4: a good or service whose wide availability typically leads to smaller profit margins and diminishes the importance of factors (as brand name) other than price
5: one that is subject to ready exchange or exploitation within a market

Hard to say what the question is asking, isn't it?

Not a well-asked question, in my view.
