Whites Agri & Coal Distributors Limited is an Irish privately-held agricultural and equestrian supplies retailer, founded in 2014 and headquartered at Ballough, Lusk, Dublin (K45 FD78), operating under the trading names "Whites Agri" and "White's Agri." The company sells an extensive, multi-category catalog — equestrian products (horse feed, supplements, tack, rugs, clippers, grooming, stable and yard accessories), animal feed (cattle, sheep, pig, poultry, dog, alpaca, goat, donkey, rabbit), farming hardware and tools (fencing, sprayers, water troughs, work lights, trailer accessories), garden and timber products (decking, sleepers, wire fencing, decorative stone), solid fuel and coal products, and clothing/workwear/PPE — through over 100 supplier brands including JFC, Korsteel, KM Elite, Kevin Bacon, Ariat, Blundstone, Dengie, Dublin and Carr Day Martin.

The business runs on a WooCommerce e-commerce platform with online ordering, account registration, and integrated delivery scheduling, layered onto a physical warehouse/retail location at Lusk that supports walk-in trade (Mon–Fri 8.30am–6pm, Saturday 9am–3pm) and Click & Collect. Last-mile options include free delivery on orders over €120, €9.95 standard shipping, €13.95 for bulky items, and €75 pallet freight, with contact-based local delivery for fuel, timber, and large items. Distribution is domestic-only, serving Irish farmers, equestrian owners, and garden/home consumers through a B2C and B2B trade storefront, with marketing deployed across Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, TikTok, and email newsletter.

The revenue model is transaction-based retail (unit pricing, pay-as-you-go) on physical goods, supplemented by a growing portfolio of value-added agri-services: weighbridge, fertiliser spreading, soil sampling, rapid FEC worm and fluke testing, VetPal prescription service, and EasyGas. Headcount is reported at 1–10 employees, the company is independently owned with no disclosed institutional investment or parent entity, and there are no reported funding rounds, acquisitions, or leadership changes.
