Coc Lau - peaceful and well-maintained by the Chay River.
The current Coc Lau commune was established on the basis of inheriting the entire solid foundation of the three communes of Coc Lau, Nam Luc, and Ban Cai, formerly belonging to Bac Ha district, Lao Cai province.
With the strong unity and consensus of the entire political system, the business community, and all strata of the people, the new commune, with its wide-open development space, creates more confidence and motivation for Coc Lau to resolutely implement the resolutions of the Party Congress at all levels for the 2025-2030 term.

Most of the rice-growing area will use new, high-quality, high-yield varieties, contributing to a total grain production of 3,901 tons in 2025. Coc Lau currently has 3,765 hectares of forest, with a forest cover rate of 67.11%. The commune also has 4,299 hectares of cinnamon, of which 1,800 hectares are organically grown; 2,250 hectares are ready for harvesting, generating approximately 26.12 billion VND per year, making a significant contribution to the local economic and ecological development. Coc Lau continues to focus on planting, harvesting, and processing products from cinnamon trees - the main crop of the locality.

Livestock farming is thriving in Coc Lau; to date, along with nearly 10,300 head of cattle, almost 61,000 poultry and waterfowl are growing well. Training courses on the use and repair of agricultural machinery are organized in villages, attracting the participation of women as well. 100% of children of school age attend school, with an attendance rate of over 99%; all 8 schools maintain national standards. The appearance of the countryside has changed dramatically.
The people of Coc Lau are confident on this new path.
