LONDON, Sept 22 (Reuters) - ICE cocoa, raw sugar and arabica coffee futures all fell in early trade on Thursday, tracking a broad-based setback in crude oil and other commodity markets.
The Federal Reserve's grim outlook for the U.S. economy and gloomy manufacturing data out of China also helped send world stocks to a fresh one-year low as investors dumped riskier assets and the U.S. dollar strengthened.
COCOA
* Cocoa futures on ICE CCc2 were weaker but managed to hold above the prior session's near 1-year low.
* ICE December cocoa CCc1 was off $35 at $2,692 a tonne at 0814 GMT after touching $2,666 in early trade. The contract dipped to 2,662 on Wednesday, the lowest level for the front month since Sep. 30, 2010.

* Indonesia's cocoa output is seen rising 19 percent to around 500,000 tonnes next year, from 420,000 tonnes this year, the country's cocoa association said on Thursday. Production will still be down from 2010 levels because of crop disease, an official at the association said.
* Raw sugar futures on ICE were lower in early trade as commodity markets retreated.
* ICE October raw sugar futures fell 0.60 cent or 2.2 percent at 26.23 cents a lb, while March was off 0.60 cent or 2.3 percent at 25.31 cents.

MARKET NEWS
* World stocks hit a fresh one-year low on Thursday and investors poured money into safer currencies and government bonds after the Federal Reserve gave a grim outlook for the U.S. economy and China's manufacturing slowed.
* Oil prices fell over $2 a barrel on Thursday on concerns measures announced by the U.S. Federal Reserve would be insufficient to boost growth, with Brent LCOc1 crude futures trading down at $108.30 a barrel.
* The dollar hit a seven-month high against a currency basket on Thursday, extending broad gains as concerns about a weakening U.S. economy prompted investors to seek the safety of the U.S. currency, which is perceived as a safe haven due to its liquidity.
