Welcome and read read read! Malt is the process of essentially baking grains at different temperatures to release enzymes to allow grain starches to convert into sugars that are fermentable into beer.

I'd say if you can come up with the grains needed, you can do an all-grain brew and get what you need. However, I'm not sure exactly what kind of grains you have available. That's where I would start. You can do it with a large variety of grains.

hmm well corn and rice are very widely available

Corn & rice are generally used as adjuncts in all grain beers. Unless you make the corn beer of my Apache ancestors called Tizwin (pronounced tizween). I & a buddy are working on the recipe for that. But it's about a step away from hooch. I'm researching the various different recipes for it around the Americas at the moment. You need barley mainly,wheat is good too.

i am 100% sure i can find wheat here or there
btw will wheat products work like rusks for example?

What is ruskd? Do the grocery stores near you have any cans of malt products in the baking needs section? That's another possibility. Any raw grains will have to be sprouted,then baked in a low oven to get the color you want. Then crushed & mashed to convert the starches to fermentable sugars.
