National Wheat Day in Brazil is celebrated annually on November 10. This day is dedicated to one of the country’s important agricultural crops — wheat, which is used as a base for bread, pasta, cakes, and many traditional dishes. The holiday emphasizes the significance of wheat in Brazil's economy, culture, and food security.

History of the holiday
Although wheat was initially not a major crop for Brazil due to climate conditions, from the 20th century onwards, breeding and new cultivation methods began to develop actively. This allowed a significant increase in planted areas and made wheat an important part of the country's agricultural sector. The holiday was established to show appreciation for farmers, agronomists, and the processing industry.

Importance of wheat for Brazil
Wheat contributes to the country's food security and economy. It is part of the daily diet of the population and the basis for many popular products. Moreover, the development of wheat cultivation reduces dependence on imports.

Wheat is especially important for:

* the bakery industry
* pasta production
* confectionery manufacturing
* food programs for schools and social institutions

How the holiday is celebrated
Events take place in agricultural regions, educational institutions, and industry organizations. On this day, the following are organized:

Farmers and processing companies also celebrate the holiday with internal ceremonies to thank their employees.
