KCNA reported that Kim cut a ribbon at the ceremony on Friday and those attending the event "burst into thunderous cheers of 'hurrah!' for the Supreme Leader who is commanding the all-people general march for accomplishing the great cause of prosperity."
Kim expressed satisfaction about the production system of the fertilizer factory, saying the plant made significant contribution for the progress of the country's chemical industry and food production, KCNA said.
Kim was accompanied by several senior North Korean officials, including his younger sister Kim Yo Jong, KCNA said.
There has been speculation about Kim's health after he missed the birth anniversary celebrations of state founder Kim Il Sung on April 15.
The day is a major holiday in North Korea and Kim as leader usually pays a visit to the mausoleum where his grandfather lies in state.
Donald Trump said after the KCNA report - but before the publication of the photos - that he will have something to say about Kim at the 'appropriate time'.
"I'd rather not comment on it yet," Trump told reporters at the White House. "We'll have something to say about it at the appropriate time."
Trump has been unusually restrained on the subject of Kim since questions about the North Korean leader's whereabouts and health surfaced last month.
The two leaders have held three summits on efforts to persuade North Korea to denuclearize and, while Trump and Kim have gotten along well, no agreement has been achieved.
Asked by Reuters what he knew about Kim in an interview on Wednesday, Trump said, "I know everything," but would not be drawn out on any details.
Earlier, a source familiar with US intelligence analyses and reporting said that US agencies believed that Kim Jong Un is not seriously ill and that he still very much remains in power.
"We think he's still in charge," the source said on condition of anonymity.

Mikel Arteta reportedly told Arsenal to drop their interest in Bayer Leverkusen forward Kevin Volland after taking over as Gunners boss .

PERRIE EDWARDS GUSHES OVER ALEX OXLADE CHAMBERLAIN AS THE PAIR ISOLATE TOGETHER
PERRIE EDWARDS GUSHES OVER ALEX OXLADE CHAMBERLAIN AS THE PAIR ISOLATE TOGETHER
Perrie Edwards and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain are isolating at his Manchester home and she looks happier than ever after Zayn Malik announced his baby news
Perrie Edwards gives peek at cosy lockdown life with boyfriend Alex after Zayn's baby news
Little Mix star Perrie Edwards has given fans a sneak peek into lockdown life with boyfriend Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain.
The singer, 26, is looking happier with fans saying she 'couldn't give a f***' after her ex-fiancé Zayn Malik was reported to be expecting his first baby with Gigi Hadid.
Perrie is currently self-isolating with her hunky footballer beau, 26, in Manchester.
She recently revealed she is "having the time of her life" with Alex, and has given rare insight into their everyday life as they spend more time together than ever.
Chatting on Supreme Nutrition's Instagram Story, the blonde beauty admitted she starts her day off with a bit of yoga, accompanied by Alex.

"Normally when I wake up I can't eat breakfast too quick because it makes me feel a bit sickly, so I need a bit of time to chill," Perrie explained.
She added: "But recently during quarantine, I've got a new love for yoga. I do that in the morning, then I might do a little workout depending on how I feel.
"And then I'll have breakfast. I've roped Alex into doing yoga with me this morning, so let's go!"

Perrie shared a video of the pair doing morning stretches together, before she quizzed the football hunk about cutting his hair.
She hilariously admitted she was too "scared" to cut Alex's hair after he gave her permission to do it.
Perrie explained they are back isolating in Manchester at Alex's pad as she showed off his family of dogs - Leo, Otis, Hatchi and Travis, while describing his home as a "zoo".

She later teased the dogs with treats as they all came running towards her in a heartwarming video clip.
After giving fans a quick house tour, Perrie explained "it's happening" as Alex tried to give himself a quick haircut.
Perrie, who was sat watching and giggling from the sidelines, said: "I'm staying clear of these hair shenanigans. No chance I'm getting the blame for that diabolical trim."

The footballer was on FaceTime to his pal who directed him through the haircut, but Perrie joked she had been "roped in".
The pair started having a hilarious argument as Perrie's boyfriend couldn't keep his head still.
"Hold your head still big man!" she shouted as she told him she was having difficulty shaving while he moved his head around.

She jokingly added: "You're a rat."
Speaking to his pal Justin Carr about her frustration, Perrie said: "I bet if he moves and you botch it up it's your fault," while Alex snapped back: "Oh because you don't move when you're getting your hair and make-up done."
However the songstress admitted she would be exactly the same.
She posted a video moments later saying she'd been at it for about three hours and "never" wants to cut hair again.
The couple sat down to watch Netflix together and Perrie recommended her favourite shows - including Sex Education and Money Heist.
Rounding up her takeover, Perrie described her day as "eventful" as she urged her followers to stay home and keep safe.
