Quang Lac has natural conditions, low mountainous terrain, favorable for chestnut tree development. Since 2003, the locality has implemented a chestnut tree planting model and identified this as one of the commune's key products. The locality is also implementing projects to support people in growing chestnuts.

Statistics show that Quang Lac has over 100 hectares of chestnuts, with an average annual output of tens of tons, bringing in an income of 300-400 million VND/year. In the commune, there are 10 chestnut gardens implementing a production model associated with experiential tourism .

The chestnut products have been registered as trademarks and labels and brought to the market, attracting many customers from within and outside the province to Quang Lac to order chestnuts for consumption. Chestnut growers here said that currently, the supply in the area cannot meet the demand, and production is consumed immediately.

In addition to fresh chestnuts and roasted chestnuts, people in Quang Lac commune have created many quality products made from chestnuts such as chestnut milk, moon cakes made from chestnuts, chestnut sticky rice... which are well received by the people.

In the coming time, Quang Lac commune will continue to guide villages and people to expand production and replicate effective models in the area; improve farmers' qualifications and knowledge through vocational training and specialized training.

In 2020, Lang Son fresh chestnuts were honored by the Vietnam General Association of Agriculture and Rural Development as the "Golden Agricultural Brand of Vietnam in 2020". Currently, there are a number of chestnut growing facilities in Lang Son City and Cao Loc District that have been certified to meet OCOP standards from 3 to 4 stars.
