Celebrated annually on September 29, the observance dates to 2019, when the Congress of the Union is identified as its founder.\nCorn has been cultivated in Mexico for thousands of years and remains central to daily life. It appears in foods such as tortillas, tamales, pozole, tlayudas, tlacoyos, and esquites, while native varieties and the knowledge surrounding their cultivation connect present-day communities with Mesoamerican history. In some cultural traditions, corn is regarded as sacred and associated with nourishment, life, and the origins of humanity. The Mexican Press Agency’s overview of National Corn Day also highlights the grain’s relationship to food sovereignty and the farmers who grow and preserve it.",
