Summary/Abstract: The aim of this article was to demonstrate the potential of using matrixaccounting to determine the direct and indirect impact of selected sectoral interventionactions on agriculture. The reasoning has been divided into four stages. The starting pointwas mapping the relationships between intervention actions and agricultural productionsectors. The article considered nine different intervention instruments and four sectorsof agricultural products. In the second stage of the study, the share of each intervention actionin the production of a given sector was estimated, enabling an assessment of the impactof these actions on the sectors. The third stage of the study involved determining the directand indirect effects of intervention actions on specific agricultural production sectors.In the final stage, the share of the value of intervention activities in the value of commodityproduction in a given sector was assessed. The entire research process allowed fora quantitative assessment of the impact of intervention actions on agricultural productionsectors. In terms of content, the analysis based on this approach allows for the followinggeneral conclusions. Firstly, horizontal income-generating actions are crucial in the contextof supporting incomes in the examined sectors. Secondly, although the impact of individualactions on the examined sectors is considered separately as at most sufficient or insignificant,the cumulative impact of these actions on individual sectors is significant. Thirdly, thereis a logical relationship in shaping the map of the impact of actions on sectors. The sectorsthat are both sensitive to changes in economic production conditions and significant forthe ecological system of agricultural production, where a return to production may be morechallenging and where support for resilience and stability is particularly needed, receivethe most support.
