Lettuce production gaps are most pronounced in St. Mary, Portland, and St. Ann, where demand significantly outpaces local supply and productive capacity. These gaps are driven by limited irrigated area, fragmented farm sizes, and lower yields relative to national averages. St. Catherine and Manchester show smaller gaps but remain below optimal self-sufficiency.

From gap_diagnoses — a different, parish-level model (climate/market/supply composite score, not commodity-specific like the analysis above). Only 2 parishes have a real diagnosis on record right now; this is genuinely all there is, not a partial load.
