Early Life
Victor Linnik was born in Moscow, Russia, in 1967. He studied at the Moscow State University of Geodesy and Cartography, earning a degree in engineering. In the early 1990s, he and his brother Alexander began their entrepreneurial journey by organizing leisure activities for foreign tourists in Moscow.
Rise to Success
Victor and his brother Alexander founded Miratorg in 1995. Initially, the company imported beef and pork from Latin America. The company then grew to become Russia's largest pork and beef producer. Miratorg expanded into a vertically integrated "farm-to-fork" enterprise, with its own farms, feedlots, and processing plants. The company's growth was fueled by the Russian government's focus on import substitution, which provided significant support to domestic agricultural producers.
Key Business Strategies
Victor Linnik, as President of Miratorg, has focused on increasing exports of high-value-added products to be competitive in the global market. He has also prioritized ensuring product quality to meet the standards of the best world producers. Miratorg's strategy includes expanding its product range and considering consumer preferences in its export plans.
Philanthropy
While specific philanthropy amounts are unavailable, it is known that Miratorg has been involved in supporting various initiatives. Further details on these initiatives would require more specific research.
