David Gibney Apr 6, 2014:
Thank you for the feedback which makes perfect sense. "It's hard to find the right materials for gaskets in any country" would be my suggestion for a press release.
Rebecca Ballien (asker) Apr 6, 2014:
I see an entry was already upvoted, but after consulting with others, while I appreciate the input, I'd have to disagree with the most popular entry; 提案不足, at least here, refers to the difficulty in finding the right material, not a physical shortage of the material in general. It's a fine distinction, but a distinction nonetheless. Thank you for the input, though.
Rebecca Ballien (asker) Feb 25, 2014:
I'm surprised; I've never seen "提案" to mean "supply" before.

The raw materials for gaskets are those in shortest supply internationally.

Personally I would translate "提案不足" as "short supply" depending on tone and overall context.

I understand 提案 as offering new material in this case. Perhaps, this company is offering a new material for gasket to address this problem.
