SE Fruits and Vegetable Limited, a Punjab-based exporter of mangoes, citrus, and potatoes, has completed the refund of its initial public offering (IPO) following its decision to withdraw the issue. The company aimed to become the first fresh fruit and vegetable company to list on the Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX) through an IPO, seeking to raise between Rs1.2 billion and Rs1.92 billion by offering 30 million ordinary shares.

The Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan (SECP) detected material discrepancies in the prospectus and suspended further proceedings to protect investors, leading to the company’s voluntary withdrawal and the refund of subscription money to investors.
