NEW YORK/LONDON, Jan 30 (Reuters) -
Raw sugar futures rose on Monday to their highest level in nearly six years, as worries about tight supplies mounted on a diminishing outlook for production in India.
Arabica coffee also rose, hitting a one-month peak.
SUGAR
* March raw sugar settled up 0.25 cents, or 1.2%, at 21.21 cents per lb after peaking at 21.33 cents - the highest level for the front month since early February 2017.
* Dealers said the potential for more Indian exports had been dented by crop concerns, which have centered on the top producing state, Maharashtra.
* "The focus has been on lower Indian crop estimates and the possibility that India's govt won't allow further exports for 22/23," analysts Green Pool said in a weekly update.
* March was trading at a premium to May
* Some brokers, however, warned that the market was entering overbought territory and could see a correction downwards.
* March white sugar rose $6.30, or 1.1%, at $568.70 a tonne.
COFFEE
* March arabica coffee settled up 0.5 cents, or 0.3%, at $1.704 per lb. The contract hit the highest price in one month at $1.7165.
* "The bullish trend is now facing resistance at 170-174 cents area, the previous ceiling that kept the market range bound for a month. A break higher here could ignite short covering towards 180 cents," said Ryan Delany, chief analyst at Coffee Trading Academy.
* March robusta coffee fell $16, or 0.8%, at $2,037 a tonne.
* Vietnam exported 160,000 tonnes of coffee in January, down 30.9% from a year earlier, government data released on Sunday showed.
