SAO PAULO, April 6 (Reuters) - Brazilian holding J&F Investimentos has agreed to acquire Vale SA's iron ore and manganese mines in the state of Mato Grosso do Sul for 1 billion reais ($215 million), newspaper Valor Economico reported late on Tuesday.

The figure to be paid by J&F, parent company of meatpacker JBS SA and pulpmaker Eldorado Brasil, includes the ventures' debt, Valor said, citing market sources familiar with the matter.

J&F and Vale did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

Vale announced last week it was in advanced talks to sell the companies that compose its Center-West system as it looks to focus on core businesses and growth opportunities.
