Considering bigger nations like US are not party to this bio-safety agreement, how is it likely to impact other countries trading with them?

It is a matter of concern because these countries dominate the world in such trade. But having said that, it is also true that these nations are obligated to adhere to an international law. They cannot ignore that. So, if tomorrow a member country, while doing business with the US, asks for information on their exports, US will have to provide the same. It might not opt to do it by itself, but the country will have to honour a request....
