Universities are ranked based on four criteria: Academic Reputation, Employer Reputation, Citations per paper, and H-index (a measure of productivity and impact of scientific publications).

Agriculture and forestry are strengths of the Can Tho University and the Mekong Delta region in general.

The delta, dubbed as Vietnam’s rice granary, contributes 50 percent of the country’s rice crop, 65 percent of aquaculture, 70 percent of fruits, 95 percent of exported rice and 60 percent of exported fish./.VNA
