KINGSTON, Nov 4 (Reuters) - Jamaican Prime Minister Andrew Holness on Tuesday said that last week's Hurricane Melissa, the strongest-ever storm to hit its shores, caused damage to homes and key infrastructure roughly equivalent to 28% to 32% of last year's gross domestic product.

Holness told the Caribbean nation's lower house the $6 billion to $7 billion estimate was conservative, based on damages assessed so far, and short-term economic output could decline by 8% to 13%.
Melissa slammed into Jamaica's agricultural heartlands already battered by last year's Hurricane Beryl, which lawmakers said could push up the prices of food. It also tore through parts of the nation's key tourism corridor.

Lawmakers said thousands of tourism workers were out of a job.
