But based on what I have sent out from the article at 
http://www.aishdas.org/avodah/faxes/rmjBroydeTerumah.pdf  there is no 
need to do this, so what are you accomplishing when if comes to 
hafrachas Terumah.  True, you are supporting the economy of 
EY,  which I agree is no small thing, but which, as others have said, 
one can do in other ways.

Again,  at the end of this article the author states, "Particularly, 
since fruits and vegetables are currently obligated in teruma and 
ma'aser only rabbinically, even in Israel proper, the presence of 
these many factors is enough to eliminate completely the obligation 
outside of Israel."
