NEW YORK/LONDON, Oct 26 (Reuters) -
Arabica coffee futures on ICE fell to a 14-month low on Wednesday as supply prospects improved and worries over demand escalated.
COFFEE
* December arabica coffee settled down 6.05 cents, or 3.3%, at $1.7975 per lb, a 14-month low.
* Dealers noted output in top washed arabica producers Colombia and Central America is expected to rise in the 2022/23 (October-September) season as the weather has been generally favourable.
* Costa Rica's coffee production will likely grow 11.5% in the 2022-2023 harvest, officials said, boosted by new plantations and a larger crop during the biannual cycle.
* The weather in top producer Brazil remains favourable and exports are picking up pace, but a potential global economic downturn could curb demand.
* January robusta coffee settled down $73, or 3.7%, at $1,875 a tonne, its lowest in 14 months.
SUGAR
* March raw sugar settled down 0.25 cents, or 1.4%, at 17.86 cents per lb. The contract hit a three-week low of 17.85 cents.
* Dealers said Brazils sugar production looks likely to exceed last season's total and everything is pointing to much higher production next season, meaning a global surplus now seems certain with concerns over demand adding to the mix.
