Editing Agdenes Municipality (section)

==Economy==
The industrial density of Agdenes is above the national average, and the primary sector is the biggest. Most of the inhabitants work within the [[milk]] or forest industry. The growth of [[Garden strawberry|strawberries]] and the breeding of fur animals are important industries as well.

The growth of [[Garden strawberry|strawberries]] has been a major industry in Agdenes for the past 100 years, started by the farmer Lars H. Selbæk in 1886 by planting some strawberry flowers and then giving them away to neighbouring farms. The most common [[List of strawberry cultivars|varieties of strawberry]] grown here are Korona, Sephyr, Senga Sengana, and Bounty. Today, strawberry collection is performed by [[foreign worker]]s, which are mainly from [[Poland]] and [[Lithuania]]. In the initial stages, the Norwegian youth were the main workforce, but after the 1970s, it became less attractive for them to pick strawberries in a field.
