BANGKOK (Reuters): Thailand's cabinet has approved a budget of 7.9 billion baht (US$226.36 million - RM1.03bil) in incentives for sugarcane farmers not to burn their crops, and reduce pollution, a government spokesperson said on Monday.

Radklao Inthawong Suwankiri said the incentives do not conflict with Thailand's obligations under the World Trade Organization because they were aimed at reducing pollution.
