| Summary: | We present a brief description of the processes that have led to changes in Krui's damar agroforests. To explain these changes, we use the idea of a 'capitalist squeeze', where factors of reproduction and economy - drought, inheritance patterns, and local trade relations - combine with state and agribusiness pressure. We integrate remote sensing data at the historical level of damar agroforestry with deforestation data and small oil palm plantations throughout Krui. In January 2016, we carried out a two-week quick assessment at Krui agroforestry to assess the yield of damar per hectare and the arrival of sawmills paying high prices for resin wood. Participant observation, interviews (n=12), and focus group discussions (n=3) established that previous collaborative efforts had failed to protect the Krui damar forests from extensive felling, mostly by smallholders taking advantage of high prices of damar timber and oil palm. Attention to the capitalist squeeze bring a focus to the need to create social relations that are just, inclusive, and egalitarian in the production of resin itself.
