What Baltic Vianco does

Baltic Vianco is an Estonian agricultural livestock trading company founded in 2006 and headquartered in Sänna küla, Rõuge vald, Võrumaa, Estonia. Operating as a private limited company (OÜ, registration code 11206012) with approximately five key staff members, the company intermediates livestock transactions between Baltic farmers and slaughterhouses across Estonia and the broader European Union.

The company runs three interconnected service lines. The core activity is animal trading in slaughter animals, breeding animals, calves, weaned calves, and sheep, priced on carcass weight and quality via the EU's SEUROP grading system (minimum 300kg live weight). The second line is the Baltic Grassland Beef premium program, which sources 12–24 month old grass-fed cattle from ecological project farms and exports prime cuts to Switzerland for sale through the COOP retail network. The third line is licensed livestock transport operated through a wholly-owned subsidiary, Baltic Vianco Trading OÜ, using animal-welfare compliant vehicles and trained drivers.

The revenue model is transaction-based across all three streams with no publicly disclosed pricing; go-to-market is direct B2B sales-led, with partner logos including VIANCO (parent/affiliate branding), Rakvere (Estonian meat processor), Bell (likely Bell Food Group), Agaras, Kurzemes CMAS, and Swissgenetics (Swiss cattle genetics). No proprietary technology platform, digital infrastructure, or API products are disclosed, and the company operates with a multilingual website (Estonian, English, Lithuanian).

Product overview

Baltic Vianco is an agricultural livestock trading company operating since 2006, offering a unified portfolio of animal trading services rather than a software platform.

The three service areas are interconnected: animal trading forms the primary business activity, the Baltic Grassland Beef program represents a specialized vertical within trading, and proprietary transport capabilities enable both core trading operations and the beef program.
